Youtube-dl: Command-line program to download videos

I use a shell wrapper for mpv that takes the URL from the clipboard when no arguments are given:

  mpv() {
    if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
      env mpv "$(xsel -b)"
    else
      env mpv "$@"
    fi
  }

What if you have "&& rm -rf /" in your clipboard and forget about it?

Since the cat's out of the bag. You can also just use a ClipIt action.
