mpv not opening about ani-cli HOT 26 CLOSED

Same problem here, couldn't get setsid working on my mac (big sur 11.6)
Fixed the problem by removing the setsid command on line:

not pretty but it works ^^

from ani-cli.

setsid isn't on mac (big sur 11.6) by default so brew install util-linux and add it to your PATH.

from ani-cli.

Here's an easy copy and paste fix if you have brew & zsh:

brew install util-linux
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/util-linux/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/util-linux/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/util-linux/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/util-linux/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/util-linux/lib/pkgconfig"

These worked for me

cli shows that the anime is currently playing, but didnt open mpv at all, i do not know if this is a windows only problem or what

Same problem in LMDE4.

Same as #32 ?

Same problem in Ubuntu mate 21.04

from ani-cli.

I thought I was going to run into this problem, but I waited for a bit and eventually mpv launched. I was doing this on a raspberry pi4 B+ 8gb, in dietpi. The only issue I had was buffering issue but that is something seperate.

from ani-cli.

It's a compatibility issue. Please print your version of setsid

setsid -V

Older version of setsid doesn't have the argument -f

is there a library / site to download from that is convenient for windows?

Yes, mpv launches but it's like 1-5% chance that it will launch after clicking or manually opening mpvPlayer, not automatically as it should be.

im using setsid from util-linux 2.34 but finding same issue. is this version not recent enough?

from ani-cli.

@Dylan-bit247 Your version is recent enough. The setsid -f flag was introduced in util-linux 2.32.
Can you give more info about your OS?

I am also using util-linux 2.37.2 on EndeavourOs. I can't really figure out why this happens as setsid seems to work perfectly fine but I have to open an mpv window every time for it to load.

from ani-cli.

My solution for MacOS BigSur =)

So yes, as @slcheungcasado proposed it is needed to install util-linux:

$ brew install util-linux

But this wouldn't work yet, because it is not yet symlinked into /usr/local by brew, so you need to do some magic:

$ ln -s /usr/local/opt/util-linux/bin/setsid /usr/local/bin/setsid

Note: I do this, but it's not recommended as Homebrew prefers to manage this itself.

alright so, my problem was that the ani-cli program opened, but mpv wouldn't open. and so I decided to play around and see what I could find, and that's when I decided to download one episode of the anime I was trying to watch, and I found this:

so basically it cannot download it, are the links down or maybe something else is happening?

Is it working when you just trying to watch anime? (without downloading)

oh, shucks, looks like it's too old, it's util-linux 2.31.1

Yeah, it seems old, can you update it? And, also can you check that you have the latest version of ani-cli, because about 8 days ago was an essential update to by pass the captcha on gogoanime. I'm not sure how to update this thing, but probably this

$ cd ani-cli
$ git pull
$ sudo make

should work.

sorry for the long answer, but long story short when I wanted to update it I ran into an issue. I couldn't get it updating. then I decided to reinstall util-linux(not the best idea, but it was 11pm and I was drunk and raging), broke my entire system, and had to reinstall ubuntu. but hey, at least it works now

I got it worked using a forked version of an earlier build also I entered ani-cli _H by mistake and got something interesting out of it… don’t suppose you can try this on the official version and see if this is something special built in or something… I went though the code before installing to make sure it didn’t do anything I’m not ok with, but I missed this functionality and am now looking for more surprises hidden within.

What do you mean? I see the expected behaviour -- it lists an
ime's, that you get when you search _H at https://gogoanime.vc/.

Long story short: setsid is terrible and we should move to nohup quickly.
