Clipboard Auto Copy

[Jarods-language-journey]

Before making a new issue please seek help in the matrix chat. Thank you.

Environment:

• OS: Windows 10
• Latest windows 10
• Latest mpv version - 0.33.0 (2-28-21)

Describe the bug Clipboard auto copy does not work correctly. This happened after playing around with youtube-dl and trying to get VRV to play through mpv

The only things that changed were downloading youtube-dl and adding these to the mpv config file. Code passed: (commented out atm)

ytdl-raw-options=username=user,password=pass

ytdl-raw-options=format=best[format_id!*=hardsub]

I've figured out that everytime I try to pass arguments to ytdl it breaks my mpv so I tried removing the code but I still have the same issue.

The only time clipboard auto copy works correctly is when playing on from quick access, if any subsequent link or file is dragged into the current mpv it will work correctly

If I open up the file from anywhere that is not from quick access, will not automatically copy to the clipboard.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Put those lines of code in mpv.conf file
2. Open up some video into mpv (cmd or exe)
3. Drag subtitles onto video
4. Enable mpvacious as normal
5. Observe yomichan clipboard monitor

Expected behavior Clipboard auto copying

Windows is tricky. Do you get any error messages in the logs (accessed by pressing ~ in mpv)?

[Jarods-language-journey]

None that are too tricky. I do get the following:

C:\Users\jarod\AppData\Roaming/mpv/mpv.conf:3: unparseable extra characters: ':jpn,jp,en'
C:\Users\jarod\AppData\Roaming/mpv/mpv.conf:4: unparseable extra characters: ':jpn,jp,en'

But I've commented those lines out and still had the same issue.

If I may, I tried it both with an older version of mpvacious along with the newer one that you released as well.

This is interesting. I wonder why it happened.

[tatsumoto-ren]

Is your PATH modified? system32 should always be in PATH but apparently for you it's not. There are a few guides on google that aim to help with this, but I don't use Windows and can't test them.

[Jarods-language-journey]

Damn, I must've deleted my system32 while modifying my paths for different exe files. Once I put it back into my path, everything works! Now I can post my damn YouTube video on how to get MPV running with VRV.

Thank you for helping me out with my oversight! I'm still a beginner in this area but am always learning!

[tatsumoto-ren]

No problem, glad that we've figured this out!
