Twister

Many webpages used dynamic loading so video source finding don’t work with mpv (youtube-dl) so I created this simple python script.

Requirements

• Python3
• Pip (pipenv)
• Chromedriver or Geckodriver
  • If you installed Chromedriver you need chromium / chorme and if Geckodriver you need firefox

Installation

python setup.py install (--user)

Why tool like this

I prefer watch something as I code and usually I have multi-head setup but nowadays I use a lot my laptop with one monitor so browsers are quite screenspace heavy tools for single monitor.

Example way to use this tool

• Well install this tool (duh)
• Install newsboat
  • Add twist.moe rss to newsboat urls file
• Add to newsboat new macro to your newsboat config file.

macro t set browser "twister %u"; open-in-browser set browser "elinks %u"

• Now you can use keyboard shortcut “, t” at news post position to open link with twister.
• Enjoy the show
