later is a program to manage watch_later entries as created by mpv(1).

In order to display file names and URLs for an entry, the write-filename-in-watch-later-config option must be set in mpv(1).

The following options can be given for any command:

, --update-titles
update titles of videos using yt-dlp

The commands are as follows:

add item ...
Creates watch_later entries for the given items. This command is implied if it wasn't explicitly given but there are remaining arguments.
del item ...
Deletes watch_later entries matching the given items.
list
Lists all watch_later entries. This command is implied if there are no remaining arguments.

An item may be a URL or a path to a file on the file system. Any command that modifies watch_later entries will subsequently print all entries just as if list was invoked.

$XDG_CACHE_HOME/later/titles.json
JSON-encoded mapping of URLs to video titles. Populated by running later with the --update-titles option.
