Streaming youtube at full speed

[transcendtient]

I've been trying to find some answers to make it easier to watch video from a browser in console and I've come up with something awesome I think. The only thing that would make this nicer is if this was supported on links2 or w3m-img.

elinks+clive+omxplayer=full speed java video

insert this into uri passing in elinks

quvi –exec=\”omxplayer %u\” %c

Right now my only problem is my elinks gets flooded with code and I get an exit error
error: child exited with: 1
I think this is from the error omxplayer has with not finishing playing videos.

BUT IT WORKS!

I also cannot exit the movie, the omxplayer shortcut buttons don't work, the and do not know how to pick higher resolution video.

I tried setting --format=best but I believe it ends up breaking the buffer between omxplayer and it crashes. I need to find a way to increase the buffer larger size.

EDIT: there were two different types of 480p video in fmt35_480p and fmt44_480p. I think best defaulted to the 44, but selecting the fmt35 worked.

just get xbmc and download the add on for youtube and play it at full speed

You're not very constructive... are you streaming video from a linux console in xbmc?
