A comprehensive terminal-based toolkit for YouTube and SVT Play.

QuickTube 2.0 combines two powerful TUI (Terminal User Interface) tools into a single suite:

1. QuickTube: A versatile video downloader and streamer.
2. YTRSS: A minimalist, distraction-free YouTube RSS client.

Both tools are built with Python and feature modern, interactive interfaces.

The Swiss Army Knife for video links.

• Stream & Download: Instantly stream via mpv or download videos/audio using yt-dlp.
• SVT Play Support: Download full series, specific episodes, or stream directly.
• Smart Features:
  • Clipboard Detection: Automatically grabs links from your clipboard on startup.
  • Cookie "Borrowing": Use cookies from your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) to access age-restricted content.
  • Quality Selection: Interactive menu to choose the best video/audio format.

The "Algorithm-Free" Subscription Manager.

• Distraction-Free: Follow your favorite channels without the YouTube homepage.
• RSS-Based: Fetches feeds asynchronously (blazing fast).
• Dashboard: View new videos, "Watch Later" queue, and toggle Shorts visibility.
• Integration: Select a video in YTRSS to instantly play or download it via QuickTube.
• Local Data: Stores viewing history and subscriptions locally (~/.config/ytrss/).

Ensure these are installed and in your PATH:

• mpv: Essential for streaming.
• ffmpeg: Required for merging video/audio streams.

(Note: The quicktube tool has a built-in helper to download yt-dlp and svtplay-dl binaries if you don't want to install them system-wide via pip/package manager.)
