Playing a video by url from command line

[ffallah]

Hi Guys,
I have a VU+ Solo 4K receiver with OpenVix image installed.
Is it possible to play a YouTube video from command line (SSH) using the video URL ?
Thanks

Hi,
Why do you need this?
Usually those, who don't know how to work with Enigma python GUI will want to use command line in scripts instead of using enigma GUI.
You can use the gstreamer playbin, but you will lose control over the stream in enigma GUI:
gst-launch-1.0 -v playbin uri='https://...'

I would recommend using the enigma GUI for playback.

Thanks for your answer.
I am more comfortable using SSH and Linux interface rather than GUI :)
I tried your suggestion but it couldn't play any file any file that I threw at it.
It always complains about hardware decoder can't handle streamtype 0
