Query #100

Closed ElectronWrestler closed 7 months ago

ElectronWrestler commented 7 months ago

I want to create a log of files played. In Windows 10 batch file the line: fmedia --random myplaylist.m3u8>>LogFile.txt displays fmedia --random myplaylist.m3u8 1>>LogFile.txt on the console but does not create the file.

The same command line in the console will create the file, but does not write to it. Is this a fmedia issue or something I don't understand about windows? Thanks

Hi! fmedia TUI uses stderr stream for displaying because stdout is often used for passing audio data to other applications.

You should use this command:

fmedia --random myplaylist.m3u8 2>>LogFile.txt
