Where Does yewtube Store Config and History?
yewtube keeps settings and caches in ~/.config/mps-youtube (inherited from mps-youtube), tunable with in-app set commands.
Last updated
yewtube inherited mps-youtube's home: ~/.config/mps-youtube holds settings, history and caches. The fork never renamed it, which makes migration from mps-youtube seamless.
Most tuning happens live with set commands inside the app rather than hand edits. Playback delegates to mpv or mplayer, so player level tweaks still belong in your mpv config, symlinked in if you want shared keys.
Where yewtube stores this, by platform
~/.config/mps-youtube/
Settings, history, caches from the mps-youtube lineage. Tune with in-app set commands; symlink mpv input.conf here to share mpv bindings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change yewtube's player or options?
Run yt, then use set commands (e.g. set player mpv) or edit the files in ~/.config/mps-youtube directly. The mpv-input.conf symlink trick reuses your mpv keybindings inside yewtube.
Does yewtube use its own config folder?
No. The fork kept the original directory, so old mps-youtube settings, history and downloads carry over untouched on upgrade.
