Exactly. And by talking about youtube-dl, I was talking about tools which directly play the video in my media player (currently mpv). Tools like mpsyt, livestreamer (mpv support this too, with the syntax "mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vid").
It would be amazing.
Thanks you for the extension.

@troublew it's a good idea! I'll try to do it. If you have more ideas feel free to share.

@troublew I opened a PR here that (I think) implements what you need. If you want to test you can download the code or read the new readme in https://github.com/squiter/ivy-youtube/tree/support-process

Works perfecty for me, with mpv.
I did a little modification, to make it accepts argument:

:command `(,@ivy-youtube-play-at ,video-url)))
(setq ivy-youtube-play-at '("/usr/bin/mpv" "--no-video" "--volume=60"))

It's ugly though, and situational ("--no-video" argument for music).

Anyway, thanks for the feature. It's very handy.

When I was thinking about the feature, my first idea was to create a variable that stores a lambda to make it more flexible... maybe I implement that in the future.
Anyway thanks for the idea.
