termipod - Podcasts and Youtube in your terminal

termipod is a curses application written in Python3 to manage your podcasts and your youtube channels in your terminal.

With it, you can:

• Handle channel/user/playlist youtube pages
• Handle RSS feeds with media
• Mark media as read/unread/skipped
• Download media
• Automatically download new media matching a pattern
• Play media with mpv, mark automatically as read if entirely played
• Create sub-channel based on regex (called mask)
• Add only media (with disabled channel)
• Display thumbnails (in urxvt terminal with pixbuf support)
• Create m3u playlists
• Search in your channel/media list
• Run local http server to stream m3u playlists and media (requires Python twisted module)
• Tag media and channels, filter media
• Export channels to file
• Customizable key bindings
• Fuse FS as a CLI with basic commands

Youtube channels are handled by youtube_dl for the first import to get all videos, but then, for efficiency purpose, by feedparser reading the RSS feed provided by Google.
