Please see full details, updates (and source) of the project at GitHub. Download Video Downloader workflow. Here is a full visual list of what Video Downloader can do: And here is how the workflow nodes look like: Requirements: For the audio extraction (vd-audio) feature to work, you should install FFmpeg yourself manually (because of licensing issues). If you don't have it already; you can find details on how to install FFmpeg at the GitHub page. --- (While writing this, I found out about Vítor's workflow; which is also nice and uses youtube-dl. Well, I'm releasing this anyway for it's extra features like audio conversion, metadata info, etc..) Pls. drop a note if you like it... Thanks.

I have modified the Searchio! Alfred workflow of Dean (http://www.packal.org/workflow/searchio) to be able to directly play audio (from youtube for example) using mpv. For this I took inspiration from the ShortFilms workflow of Vitor (http://www.packal.org/workflow/shortfilms). To do this, I previously used: open -a "${audio_player}" "${1}" --args --vid=no This worked perfectly until I upgraded (using brew (not brew cask)) to mpv 0.25.0 Since the upgrade, mpv doesn't recognise the args that are passed to it by open through the use of --args. A simple test for this is [in a terminal/command line window; note: this requires mpv and youtube-dl to be installed]: open -a mpv "youtube_video_link_here" --args --vid=no I have read the documentation of open and mpv and I am not sure why the behaviour changed. Anyone can help with this? The arguments passing issue using "open -a App_Name File_Name --args arg1" might be more widespread than just for this use case. Is there anything I am missing in the use of the command open? P.S.: 1) I have also filed a bug report with mpv (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4354) but I fear that this issue is more linked to the way "open" interacts with other commands (this worked with previous mpv versions though, i.e. mpv<0.25) 2) The modifications I have made allow to call for youtube video search in Searchio! using the alfred keyword "yt" and then: Choosing an item on the Alfred displayed list while using CMD launches the playback of the corresponding youtube video in mpv Choosing an item on the Alfred displayed list while using ALT launches the playback of the corresponding youtube audio in mpv
