'lofi' alias not working on macOS #1

Closed Kyngo closed 1 year ago

Kyngo commented 4 years ago

Expected behaviour:

Running 'lofi' should execute

nohup vlc --one-instance --no-video https://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=5qap5aO4i9A </dev/null &>/dev/null &

and open a VLC instance with music playing in the background.

Current behaviour:

Nothing happens. When running manually the command you get the following error:

VLC media player 3.0.7.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.7.1-1-0-g26acdaa9ca)
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--one-instance'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.

As per VLC wiki:

On the Mac, running multiple instances of VLC is not supported out of the box.

Also this dotfiles are most dedicated to Linux :( But still feel free to do a PR with the fix :)

Oh, crapbaskets.

I'll research for a macOS solution and make a PR indeed ;)
