Which command line did you use to run the scripts?

I use another script to run it, using this code:

$arg1 = 'D:\folder-that-contains-libmpv-to-be-updated'
$arg2 = 'D:\folder-that-contains-mpv-to-be-updated'
$path = 'D:\foobar-scripts\update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1'

& $path $arg1 $arg2

Then I execute the script in the terminal with this command line.

D:\foobar-scripts\update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1

That is hard to type and remember, I highly recommend using a fzf based history, in your PS profile:

# Install-Module -Name PSFzf
# Set PsFzf's history and file finder keyboard shortcuts.
$env:_PSFZF_FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = '--exact --no-sort --layout=reverse'
Set-PsFzfOption -PSReadlineChordReverseHistory 'Ctrl+r' -PSReadlineChordProvider 'Ctrl+p'

With that, I invoke the fzf history with Ctrl+r and get what I need by typing.

upd mpv

I hope it's clear now. Bash, PowerShell or Nushell are not easy to learn, but it's worth it.

Which command line did you use to run the scripts? file.bat

@ECHO OFF
:: This batch file exists to run update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1 without hassle
pushd %~dp0
set updater_script="%~dp0\update-mpv-and-libmpv.ps1"
:: Check if pwsh is in the system's PATH
where pwsh >nul 2>nul
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
    :: pwsh is in PATH, so run the script using Windows Powershell
    pwsh -NoProfile -NoLogo -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File %updater_script%
) else (
    :: pwsh is not in PATH, run the script using PowerShell Core
    powershell -NoProfile -NoLogo -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File %updater_script%
)
timeout 5

You missed passing required arguments into the script.

Two positional command line arguments need to be passed into the script:

1. The directory containing libmpv to be updated.

2. The directory containing mpv to be updated.

   To skip one of both pass 'no' instead of the path.
