example for my path /storage/emulated/0/Download/Anime_here/Hakuouki OVA 2021 ep 3 480.mp4

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

also i did try a path with no spaces DIDNT WORK also i did try no path at all same output

so i guess the output is the vlc controller being created (in that case why is the play function with path not working?)
