Mausviewer

This tool help to play the latest episode of "Die Sendung mit der Maus" from the ARD Mediathek.
It is a nice example of using microdata embedded in a HTML page. It would be nicer to even convert the microdata to RDF, it would probably make the script more robust. (If you have an idea, of a library that converts microdata to RDF, please open an issue.)

Requirements

  • yt-dlp (I you have an idea, where to find the API doc we can also include it into the script, please open an issue)
  • Some video player, that runs in fullscreen and accepts the URL extrected by yt-dlp as argument.

Install

pipx install git+https://github.com/white-gecko/mausviewer

Usage

mausviewer | xargs yt-dlp --print urls | xargs flatpak run org.videolan.VLC --fullscreen

or

flatpak run org.videolan.VLC --fullscreen $(yt-dlp --print urls $(mausviewer))
