vlc crash when starting video through youtube-viewer #430

Closed j0lle closed 1 year ago

j0lle commented 1 year ago

Hello

I am running youtube-viewer on opensuse. I can search, but when I start a video, vlc immediately crashes. vlc log says:

-- logger module started -- main: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. access error: HTTP connection failure main: end of playlist, exiting -- logger module stopped --

I have enabled debug in youtube-viewer, which gives me the command it tries to run: -> Video type: video/webm; codecs="vp9" -> Audio type: audio/webm; codecs="opus" -> Command: /usr/bin/vlc --input-slave=https\:\/\/rr5\-\-\-sn\-5hnednsz\.googlevideo\.com\/videoplayback\?expire\=168emqL2oCg.......

however, when copy/pasting the command to a seperate terminal, vlc runs just fine and the video plays...

No idea where to start looking, any help greatly appreciated!

I know this does not fix the problem and may now work for you, but you could try using mpv?

Thanks, I kind of forgot to update the ticket. Switching to mpv worked perfectly! It was very new, and I was stuck in troubleshooting that vlc issue :-)
