Hello Lemmy,

invidtui is a TUI-based Invidious client, which can:

Search for and browse videos, playlists and channels
Play audio or video from any instance
View, open, edit and save m3u8 playlists
Download video/audio in any format
Authenticate with the preferred instance, and show user feed, playlists and subscriptions

This release contains the following new features/fixes:

Playlists are downloadable as well, with progress display in the "Downloads" page. Deleted/private videos are stored separately from the public ones.

To use this feature:
- Select a playlist with the i key, wait for the playlist to load
- Press Ctrl+S to initialize the download
- To view the progress of the download, press Y

Optimizations to the playlist file loading and queue rendering (reduced CPU usage)
- Updating the queue only for new/updated items
- Rate limiting the calls to MPV
- Cancellable loading of playlist entries
  - Open the queue and press x to cancel loading the playlist entries.

An "Initializing" indicator is shown when the player is hidden and about to start playing a file

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

Looks pretty solid from the video, but the demo could've included playing a video - it's pretty much the most important thing, IMO.

The README is also missing an "Installation" section. Probably someone will find this great enough to package in nix since it's a Go program.

The installation instructions are covered in the project website (here), and yes, I will update the demo video to show playing a YouTube video from an instance.

IMO, the installation instructions should be either right on the homepage or behind text that alludes to installation e.g "Installation instructions", "Download Here", "Get It Here", etc. I did not expect it to be under "View Documentation". My first thought was "No installation instructions? This probably means it's another one of those 'just make install and you're done' programs".

Noted. I will edit the README to indicate where the installation and other instructions are.
