    What does your ~/.bashrc look like? My last change was modifying a playlist command

    spoiler: I explain my last change to my ~/.bashrc file 
    playlist https://www.youtube.com/@YouTube/videos

    or

    playlist /home/username/Videos

    or just from any directory with files

    playlist

    And then takes all the videos found at the url or at the path (including within folders), adds them to a playlist, shuffles them, and plays them from mpv.

    playlist() {
        param=""

        # If the first parameter has a length more than 1 character
        if [ ${#1} -gt 1 ]; then
                param="${@}"
        else
                param="."
        fi

        screen mpv $param --shuffle --ytdl-raw-options-add=cookies-from-browser=firefox --loop-playlist=inf --no-keepaspect-window --no-auto-window-resize
}

        The version I have was copied from stackoverflow. It doesn’t work very well, it makes a rough estimate to get the video file size under the set value. As an example

        resize video.mp4 10

        Which then resizes the video to 10 megabytes if possible.

        resize.sh code 
        file=$1
target_size_mb=$2  # target size in MB
target_size=$(( $target_size_mb * 1000 * 1000 * 8 )) # target size in bits
length=`ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "$file"`
length_round_up=$(( ${length%.*} + 1 ))
total_bitrate=$(( $target_size / $length_round_up ))
audio_bitrate=$(( 128 * 1000 )) # 128k bit rate
video_bitrate=$(( $total_bitrate - $audio_bitrate ))
ffmpeg -i "$file" -b:v $video_bitrate -maxrate:v $video_bitrate -bufsize:v $(( $target_size / 20 )) -b:a $audio_bitrate "${file}-${target_size_mb}mb.mp4"

        I’ll probably replace it eventually.

          Definitely not the same lol

          Mine uses ffmpeg to change the resolution, it doesn’t so much care about file sizes.

          It could be a one-liner if you only ever feed it a single file to manipulate…

            I might add one for scaling. I just don’t use it as frequently as trying to meet a file size limit. The scaling is also much easier to remember

            ffmpeg -i  in.mp4 -vf "scale=600:-1" -an out.mp4

            It does get complicated though, when scaling many videos and images, I’ve used something like the following in the past

            find .  -exec ffmpeg -i {} -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:-1:-1:color=black" {}.mp4 \;

            Those were the only two that showed up when I typed history | grep scale.

            after commenting, I also added a new video file resizer.

            It works significantly better than the one I previously posted. It’s also copied from stackoverflow.

            bitrate="$(awk "BEGIN {print int($2 * 1024 * 1024 * 8 / $(ffprobe \
    -v error \
    -show_entries format=duration \
    -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 \
    "$1" \
) / 1000)}")k"
ffmpeg \
    -y \
    -i "$1" \
    -c:v libx264 \
    -preset medium \
    -b:v $bitrate \
    -pass 1 \
    -an \
    -f mp4 \
    /dev/null \
&& \
ffmpeg \
    -i "$1" \
    -c:v libx264 \
    -preset medium \
    -b:v $bitrate \
    -pass 2 \
    -an \
    "${1%.*}-$2mB.mp4"
