I've used essentially this[1] bound to a key in cwm ever since coming
across it to watch videos... I prefer browsers to just browse[2].
#!/bin/sh
# needs zenity, youtube-dl and vlc installed
URL=$(zenity --entry --text "Enter Video URL:")
if [ "$URL" = "" ]; then
echo "You must enter a url."
exit
fi
TMPFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/youtube-vid.XXXXXX)
youtube-dl --no-part -f 18/0/h264-sd -o $TMPFILE "$URL" &
DL_PID=$!
sleep 5
cvlc -f $TMPFILE vlc://quit
kill $DL_PID
rm $TMPFILE
