straw-viewer is a fork of youtube-viewer that does not require a Google
API key. Usage and user interface are identical to youtube-viewer.
+For playing videos, this uses mplayer, vlc, or mpv. However, the mplayer
+that ships with Slackware 14.2 has some issues with straw-viewer (or
+actually with youtube: the audio stream cuts out randomly). Using vlc
+or mpv is highly recommended.

Optional dependencies:
perl-Gtk3, perl-File-ShareDir - for gtk-straw-viewer.
