I created a small bash script to search and play videos from YouTube with mpv as the web interface is just abysmal. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/H-M-H/yt
It uses youtube-dl to do the search and so no API key is required.

Yes, you are right,
youtube-dlshould be at a recent version :P! But I hope that this is all the maintenance there is to it. The script itself is really simple and probably won’t need updates any time soon as it just delegates all the work to other tools. Just as things should be with regard to the Unix philosophy :)
