# nvi Downloads a PeerTube video, or a Youtube video (using Invidious public servers). Multiple `-A` and `-V` can be used to prioritize specific stream formats. The values for these options can be IDs and quality, ie `18` or `720p` (for video). ## Examples Show available streams of a video: nvi -i ybGOT4d2Hs8 Download audio and video in best quality and play using [treason](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/treason): nvi -a /tmp/audio -v /tmp/video ybGOT4d2Hs8 && treason -a /tmp/audio /tmp/video Download only audio, extract OPUS from the container using [mcfs](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/mcfs), and reencode to OGG/Vorbis: nvi -a /fd/1 -A 251 ybGOT4d2Hs8 | mcfs -t audio | audio/opusdec | audio/oggenc > suffer.ogg Download and play combined audio and video (low quality): nvi -V 18 -v /tmp/video ybGOT4d2Hs8 && treason /tmp/video ## TODO * Manpage. * Select streams based on format, eg "mp4", "mp4,av01", "opus", etc. * Figure out how to play videos without storing them on disk, ie piping directly to treason.
