MAC Version Doesn't Generate HTML #47

Closed proactivematter closed 1 year ago

proactivematter commented 1 year ago

Hey,

I've been using obs-ramdom-videos on Windows - including the latest version - fine for the past year or so, but can't get it to work on my Mac.

I've tested in a couple of different ways - including only using one video and changing directories - but the Mac version doesn't ever generate an HTML file.

Running Monterrey 12.6 on a MBP 16" M1 Max.

Happy to provide further information if needed.

Thank you

So, I've tried to test previous versions (up to 3.3) and none of them seem to be generating the file. I wonder if these never were verified to be working or if it could be something else?

I wrote this on a Mac so it definitely does work. How are you running the program?

Thanks for the lightning-fast reply Jared. I'm doing it the same as on Windows. Just about as basic as it gets:

Do you have any suggestions?

It'll drop the html in you home directory (or wherever your terminal would normally open too) if youre just clicking on it.
It's a quirk I never worked out for Mac (probably just need to read current directory differently). It's a command line tools, so it's meant to be used via terminal anyways.

Yes!!! I was just about to write back and report that I found it in the home directory upon running ls -la. Very quirky indeed. And yes, I am but a humble meddler of code. Slowly learning to navigate through the terminal exclusively. Appreciate your help! Love this tool, being able to choose a video to play in between all other videos allows for some awesome stuff.
