That youtube-dl thing is clearly the strangest thing I've seen. When you query for a video with -g it yields back an http link on some weird google-like domain (https://r3---sn-cxab5jvh-cg0ez.googlevideo.com) with several parameters, including your public IP.

Ooh okay, the thing is the name of the binary was quite misleading, because even the main page of youtube-dl itself says the utilitary is mainly used to download a youtube video. -g stands for : Simulate, quiet but print URL. I don't even think youtube-dl is necessary at this point then. I would try simply giving omxplayer the youtube link

@ArthurAttout Of Course not, as mentioned above, -g flag gets the video url, and omxplayer will buffer it as a regular html video. Yes you can play 5h long video instantly, usually thats the point, I dont think you are willing to execute all this trouble for 3-4 min videos. I use this approach to play 2-3 hour 1080p music videos with my raspberry pi, and it works great.
