could one of you codecels tell me a way to play yt-dlp youtube downloads WHILE THE DOWNLOAD IS STILL IN PROGRESS?

i figure i need to find a way to download the audio FIRST to make this happen.

there's no reason i shouldn't be able to do this, but i can't figure out how.

i thought you were just looking to stream a video instead of also downloading it

i don't know how to do that it's either one or the other to my knowledge

well, in effect, i want a way to stream with mplayer + yt-dlp, and not have to use the official youtube website once piped + invidious get gibbed.

i don't know mplayer but vlc and mpv allow you to just copypaste a link into them and they'll play the video right there, and i think mpv actually does use yt-dlp but if you want a nice little function i'll post it again

stream() {

   yt-dlp -o - "$1" | mpv -

}
