Usnatch Project
usnatch is a Rexx script for bridging the gaps between the Lynx text mode browser, media players such as mplayer and vlc capable of playing in console mode, and Web 2.0 streaming video sites like http://www.youtube.com. Using usnatch as a Lynx EXTERNAL you can do your YouTube surfing from the console. Though intended as a Lynx EXTERNAL, it can be used directly from the command line, though other tools such as youtube-dl may be better for such.
Much thanks to SourceForge.net for hosting this site and setting up the CVS repository.
