Description Edgar Uriel Domínguez Espinoza 2014-08-17 07:01:20 UTC 
net-misc/youtube-viewer-3.1.1 installs and works fine. I noticed that it's possible use VLC as backend, the config file says:

 vlc => {
                                 arg => "--quiet --play-and-exit --no-video-title-show",
                                 cmd => "vlc",
                                 fs => "--fullscreen",
                                 novideo => "--intf dummy --novideo",
                                 srt => "--sub-file '%s'",
                               },

Please add vlc as USE option in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Mplayer, mplayer2 or mpv is needed to install youtube-viewer

Expected Results:  
VLC as option in youtube-viewer's ebuild.

I'd rather remove them all and tell the user to install a compatible streaming player

all video player dependencies removed and substituted with an elog message https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=b6b942cdc109812d23a1a01f6153e5025c6286be
