# This fetches a video url and cookie from youtube using youtube-dl,
# then plays the actual video by streaming with mplayer (this has the
# advantage over piping youtube-dl that mplayer can actually seek and
# stuff). Thanks to mod_eerf from #raspberrypi for pointing this method
# out.

# Apparently youtube-dl barfs if the cookie file pre-exists.
# Using mktemp anyway to randomize the name. This is _not secure_
# unless you use per-user tmp directories with proper permissions.
# Which I do, so meh.
