+# youtube playlist cli
+A simplish set of bash scripts to have a locally stored youtube playlist using fzf and sqlite3 with thumbnails
+
+Technically you can modify this to store anything other than just yt videos
+
+# download.
+Just download this repo and rename youtube_stuffs.db.def to youtube_stuffs.db
+
+# requirements
+- bash
+- fzf
+- sqlite3
+- sed
+- youtube-dl
+
+## optional requirements
+- chafa # for image previews
+- a terminal that works with chafa. i use wezterm
+
+# Usage
+- have a playlist or video thats either unlisted or public.
+- run ``fetch.sh "youtube url/playlist url" "playlist name"``.
+that should pretty much do everything.
+- check download_err.txt for download errors. Videos that are marked as nsfw and require sign in will NOT be added to the list and require manual intervention
+- then ``get_yt2.sh.``.
+if you want thumbnails ``get_yt2.sh 1``.
+- if you want too then delete download.txt and download_err.txt and thumberr.txt
+
+# config
+- In ``get_yt2.sh`` there is the preview lines and columns. Idk if I can autodetect this because something something fzf doesn't do something something
+- If you want to change anything else you would have to change the script. Feel free to make your own config system
+
+
+
+# todo
+- auto detect detect last item in list when and before adding new item so thumbnails doesn't start at 1. Or async it or something idk
