AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

Got this error:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

    player.play(link)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

I think this is related to how the package is written, but it could be related to how I installed the package. I heard it's hard on WIndows (I did install mpv-1.dll).

For some reason, it detects the string variable I gave play as a NoneType, and I don't get why!

link must be None almost nothing is going on between the call to play and calling the encode method on filename.

I'll check the code when I come home.

I agree that link must be None here. If it's indeed an issue in python-mpv, feel free to re-open this issue.
