Requirements

• `geckodriver`
• `ascii-image-converter`

Installation

• Install `geckodriver`: `sudo apt install geckodriver`
• Install `ascii-image-converter`: `sudo apt install ascii-image-converter`
• Clone this repo and `cargo install –path .`
• In Emacs, `M-x load-file` and then load `muse.el` in this repo
• `M-x muse-search` and add the query, then press `d` on a video listed in the resulting buffer to download the audio track, `v` to view the video and its related videos in another buffer, `o` to open the video link in the system browser.

Notes

The `muse` cli does not manage the `geckodriver server`, that is responsibility of `muse-mode`. If you want to use the cli independently, start a geckodriver server with `geckodriver –port=4444`.

Todo

• Handle errors gracefully
• Allow the cli help to be printed without a `geckodriver` server
• Add ’preview’ under `p`, slicing with https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/388148
  • Would be good to be able to see the video length
• Stream video to terminal as ascii art under `w` (watch), on the view page
• Add a command to go to the channel for a video, bound to `c`
• Add a more sophisticated `transient` menu to control the download options
  • Have a `magit` style `transient` menu on `muse-mode` buffers
• Add `Muse` implementations for other sources (Spotify, etc)
• Add tests
