It does not run in the web terminal at term.gloom.sh, so it needs Gloom on your own machine.

Readme

Playback

  • Desktop: embedded video with playback and mute controls. The channels sit as tabs in the pane title bar.
  • Terminal: Kitty-compatible video output through mpv, started with p or the [p]lay action in the pane footer. Install mpv with Kitty support; yt-dlp is not required. Playback never starts on its own here, because the player takes the terminal over for as long as it runs. The app resumes when playback exits.
  • Hosted web: external plugins are not loaded by the hosted Gloomberb app.

Press 1, 2, or 3 to change channels, r to refresh, p to play/pause, m to mute/unmute, and o to open the channel in your browser. The footer actions and channel tabs also support the mouse. When a stream cannot be resolved, or the desktop player cannot play it, the pane shows the reason with a Try again button.

Public stream availability depends on YouTube, the channel, your location, and consent requirements. Stream URLs are refreshed before expiry; playback failures trigger one recovery attempt per video.
