flatpak external mpv #80

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

love mpv shim!

just a small issue with the flatpak version not working with external player. is this expected because of sandboxing? and if yes what do i do to get it to lauch into my external mpv?

the error i get now is /usr/bin/mpv - no such file

after trying to override paths and failing i went with the pip version again, which works just fine with my external player, including config and mpv scripts

salute!

The external mpv option is known to not work due to Flatpak sandboxing. I am not aware of a way to make it work at this time.

There are specific directories forbidden to a Flatpak no matter what - consult the documentation and avoid the directories that it denies.

If you point your configuration to an mpv installation in your user's home directory somewhere, you'll have better luck than in /usr (one of the directories specifically barred.
