Vangrapf

Web service temporarily unavailable

Due to maintenance or high load, our online player is currently down. However, you can use Vangrapf CLI — it is fully functional and works on any platform (Linux, Windows, macOS).

With the CLI you can watch and download videos from YouTube, RuTube, VK Video, OK without ads, through your own proxy or directly.

Quick installation of Vangrapf CLI

All you need is Python 3.8+ and pip. The mpv player is required for watching (instructions below).

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vangrapf/vangrapf-cli/main/main.py | python - --help

Install dependencies:

pip install yt-dlp rich requests

Install mpv:

sudo apt install mpv   # Debian/Ubuntu
brew install mpv       # macOS

Windows (PowerShell)

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vangrapf/vangrapf-cli/main/main.py | python --help

Cookies for YouTube (recommended)

To bypass YouTube blocking, export cookies from your browser and pass them to the script:

Install the extension "Get cookies.txt LOCALLY" (Chrome/Firefox).
Log into YouTube, click the extension icon → Export → save cookies.txt.
Pass the file with --cookies ./cookies.txt when running.

python <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vangrapf/vangrapf-cli/main/main.py) --watch "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --cookies ./cookies.txt

Usage examples

# Watch video (with auto-proxy for YouTube)
python <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vangrapf/vangrapf-cli/main/main.py) --watch "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --cookies cookies.txt

# Download video from RuTube (proxy not needed)
python <(curl -s ...) --download "https://rutube.ru/video/6d2c586de0a03c9b885ddfd2c5c7b456/" -o ~/Videos/

# Search and watch

Troubleshooting: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rich'

If you installed dependencies but the script still cannot find rich, try the following:

Make sure you are using the same Python interpreter that you used to install packages. Check which python and which pip – paths should match.
Install rich explicitly for the current user: python -m pip install rich --user (Linux/macOS) or py -m pip install rich --user (Windows).
If using a virtual environment, activate it before running.
Reinstall rich: pip uninstall rich -y && pip install rich.
On Windows, run PowerShell as Administrator when installing.

If nothing helps, clear pip cache: pip cache purge and install again.
