Expected behavior mpv should launch

Additional context

[port19x]

Can't reproduce on linux. Could this be due to installation mistakes? Did you install ani-cli manually or via scoop?

[ttx99]

from source

same for me on macOS Monterey 12.5.1

same for me on macOS Monterey 12.5.1

That was actually due to a mktemp bug I introduced in 4.5.2, I merged the fix an hour ago.

[port19x]

from source

So this is a bit tough to troubleshoot. The problem basically boils down to mpv somehow not being present in your PATH. ani-cli does seem do work fine from the screenshots provided by you, it just fails to open the player. This indicates that our installation instructions for windows from source are incomplete.

If the scoop installation is an option for you, that one should work and is the preferred method.

still wont launch

[port19x]

This is very odd

[justchokingaround]

ani-cli uses the mpv.exe executable not mpv, check which mpv.exe and also it would be nice if we could get some logs please

sh -x $(which ani-cli) naruto -N -e 1 &>ani-cli.log

then send ani-cli.log here pls

@ttx99 can you try this out, and let me know if it fixes the bug?

sh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pystardust/ani-cli/windows-bug/ani-cli) naruto -N -e 1

[ttx99]

it just exits

[justchokingaround]

what does the log look like?

just add -x &>ani-cli.log to the previous command

[ttx99]

ani-cli.log

[justchokingaround]

my bad, remove the -x at the end and put it directly after the sh at the start, sorry about that

[ttx99]

it just exits

ani-cli.log

[justchokingaround]

does the following command work?

mpv '--force-media-title=Boruto Naruto Next Generations Episode 1' https://video.wixstatic.com/video/e441d9_ee77f7165b384f07a5552b7496e8cc3f/1080p/mp4/file.mp4

[ttx99]

yes,

[justchokingaround]

and with mpv.exe ?

[ttx99]

i dont know what you mean exactly but that command launches mpv

[justchokingaround]

i mean

mpv.exe '--force-media-title=Boruto Naruto Next Generations Episode 1' https://video.wixstatic.com/video/e441d9_ee77f7165b384f07a5552b7496e8cc3f/1080p/mp4/file.mp4

Update ani-cli. If it still doesn't work, open a separate issue
