[LoliestHuhytre]

ok tried more stuff it seems to get this, not working but when it gives up, it freezes now

[LoliestHuhytre]

tried to reinstall MPV and YouTube-dl using commands and they work fine... but the same error

[trakBan]

Have you tried running it in just the normal windows terminal

[LoliestHuhytre]

actually I installed git for windows, then, i copy-pasted git clone https://github.com/trakBan/spongebob-cli.git; cd spongebob-cli; chmod +x spongebob-cli; sudo python3 setup.py install, I seperad them, MPV works fine, so does YouTube-DL, both on chocolatey, but chmod is not a valid command and so does sudo!!! I used git and C:\Users\lolie\spongebob-cli>chmod +x spongebob-cli 'chmod' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file is for the output, yes, I DID use terminal windows normal and C:\Users\lolie\spongebob-cli>sudo python3 setup.py install 'sudo' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file was also an output

You can skip setup.py and just run python spongebob-cli. It will work just the same. You can add it to PATH so you can execute in anywhere. Just make sure to do pip install -r requirements.txt so all the dependecies get installed.

[LoliestHuhytre]

horray, it works

[solisoares]

@trakBan, I think that the use of scripts in setup.py do not provide cross-plataform compatibility as aposed to console_scripts, as described in this StackOverflow thread and in the Read the Docs page.

Even though LoliestHuhytre mentions:

I am using the Ubuntu terminal from Microsoft Store

I think it would be nice if we use console_scripts instead, and windows people can use it without calling python spongebob-cli or manually adding to the PATH.

Also, an installation with pip install . makes more convinient for updating and uninstalling as described here.

What are your thoughts about this?

[trakBan]

@solisoares, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will look into doing proper and better packaging for this program. One thing to note is that i never intended for spongebob-cli to be run on windows and thus made no serious attempts to make the program more compatible with windows.
