Tried changing mpv with vlc but still not working

[ghost]

I tried to change it with vlc instead on mpv but the script was not working

!/bin/sh

# dependencies: grep sed curl video_player # video_player ( needs to be able to play urls ) player_fn="vlc"

prog="ani-cli" logfile="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/ani-hsts"

c_red="\033[1;31m" c_green="\033[1;32m" c_yellow="\033[1;33m"

I want to run it on vlc because I personally dont like mpv and it is trash .

[NoRMaNxLLy]

was it working with mpv ?

Yup working fine with mpv. Test in windows and can confirm it's working.

I think the problem is in line 213:
setsid -f $player_fn --http-header-fields="Referer: $embedded_video_url" "$video_url" >/dev/null 2>&1
But vlc does not have the cli option http-header-fields. Instead you could use the option --http-referrer provided in vlc (look at the documentation).
It should look something like this: setsid -f $player_fn --http-referrer="$embedded_video_url" "$video_url" >/dev/null 2>&1

Yes it was working with mpv fine. But i discovered a weird thing in vlc. Whenever I press ctrl + n in vlc and try to put in a video link for ex a youtube link it says "Video MRL not found". And the problem is not from my end i tried it on different computers.

Then I'd recommend echoing one of these links and trying to get it to work manually

I echoed the link and tried to play the video manually but it seems it doesn't work either.

Do it with the options I recommended

[port19x]

Do you need any further support?

[Glitcher85]

Nope, it seems like they added a vlc option as well.

Good to hear @Glitcher85 :smiley:

Full vlc support was implemented 2 weeks ago in PR #172 Update to the latest version If you still have issues, don't hesitate to open another issue
