Re: [Trisquel-users] Downloading videos from youtube with "$ avideo *video-url*" gives me only the sound.

mps-youtube is a cli program that searches YouTube for videos to stream with 
your preferred player. It is similar to youtube-viewer. With both programs, I 
have found that mpv works better than vlc. youtube-dl and avideo are a little 
different in that rather than provide your media player with a url to stream 
from they download the content and save it to disk, but it sounds like even 
these downloaded files work better in mpv than vlc. Perhaps there is something 
about the format of YouTube videos that vlc has trouble with. Regardless of the 
reason, it sounds like the problem is solved if you're happy with mpv.
