can't play with VLC on Windows #315

Open omeringen opened 10 months ago

omeringen commented 10 months ago

Thanks for adding VLC player support. I am not able to open anything with it, iptvnator still prefers MPV somehow.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Select VLC player at iptvnator settings
  2. leave the path empty(prefers default location) or try these: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\ C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\ C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\ C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
  3. play something
  4. See it still tries to open with MPV

I was using MPV for Windows build, works fine. Tried to see how things go with VLC(tested both Win32 and Win64 version) on iptvnator v0.15 Windows build.

Anybody reproduce this ?

Hello, I found a way to use vlc on windows just have to install it to : C:\VideoLAN\VLC\

In iptvnator (settings) put for mpv AND vlc path : C:\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe

Then vlc should launch. No ?

I'm using it with xtreme/xtream code, nothing to report for Live Streams and VOD Streams with vlc but Series are not working same problem for linux and windows.

Instead of the information message : The video is playing in external player window ...

There is the name of the episode and nothing more :

iptvnator_series_not_launching_with_vlc

Synopsis font color in black is not readable. edit : switch to Dark theme (white font).

Hope there will be an update soon. Thank you
