About
Youtui - a simple TUI YouTube Music player written in Rust aiming to implement an Artist->Albums workflow for searching for music, and using discoverability principles for navigation. Inspired by https://github.com/ccgauche/ytermusic/ and cmus.
Ytmapi-rs - an asynchronous API for YouTube Music using Google's internal API, Tokio and Reqwest. Inspired by https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/.
This project is not supported or endorsed by Google.
Features
- Quickly and easily display entire artist's discography
- Buffer upcoming songs
- Search suggestions
- Sorting and filtering
Demo
Installing youtui
Arch Linux
paru -S youtui
FreeBSD
pkg install youtui
Cargo
cargo install youtui
Running youtui
The default option is to use browser authentication, oauth authentication is likely being phased out by Google. To change this to oauth authentication, a config.toml
file can be added to the local youtui config directory (e.g ~/.config/youtui/
on Linux), with the value auth_type = "OAuth"
. Please note however that config file format is currently unstable and could change in the future.
Commands
- To run the TUI application, execute
youtui
with no arguments. - To use the API in command-line mode, execute
youtui --help
to see available commands.
Browser Auth Setup Steps
- Open YouTube Music in your browser - ensure you are logged in.
- Open web developer tools (F12).
- Open Network tab and locate a POST request to
music.youtube.com
. - Copy the
Cookie
into a text file namedcookie.txt
into your local youtui config directory. Note you will need to create the directory if it does not exist. Firefox example (Right click and Copy Value): Chrome example (Select manually and paste):
OAuth Setup Steps
- Setup the oauth token in the default configuration directory by running
youtui setup-oauth
and following the instructions.
Other Setup
- If music downloads always return an error, you are able to supply a PO Token by saving it to the file
po_token.txt
into your local youtui config directory. For more information on PO Tokens and how to obtain them, see here.
Dependencies note
General
- A font that can render FontAwesome symbols is required.
Linux specific
- Youtui uses the Rodio library for playback which relies on Cpal https://github.com/rustaudio/cpal for ALSA support. The cpal readme mentions the that the ALSA development files are required which can be found in the following packages:
libasound2-dev
(Debian / Ubuntu)alsa-lib-devel
(Fedora)
Limitations
- This project is under heavy development, and interfaces could change at any time. The project will use semantic versioning to indicate when interfaces have stabilised.

* GetWatchPlaylist is partially implemented only
- only returns playlist and lyrics ids
* GetArtist is partially implemented only
- only returns albums and songs
* Only the tracking url from GetSong is implemented - as GetSongTrackingUrl. Any additional features for GetSong are not currently planned - recommend taking a look at rusty_ytdl
library for these features.
* Note, significantly dynamic pages, such as Get Home are not currently planned.
* GetEpisodesPlaylist is not implemented - it seems the only use case is to get the New Episodes playlist, which has been implemented instead as GetNewEpisodes.
