Make sure you are on the latest version by running ani-cli -U

Version: 4.8.0

Whenever i play any anime it strucks at this screen

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run ani-cli naruto
2. Choose 21
3. Choose episode 1

MPV or VLC shouldn't start

[Nithish-Surya]

I tried updating and I have the latest version of ani-cli but still it is not working

Try to run mpv (from terminal) and see if gives any error

Can't reproduce. Naruto Ep 1 plays just fine for me

[Nithish-Surya]

Anyone help me , my mpv and vlc are playing my local files but unable to play any online videos .I think this due to some error with the ffmpeg

Same problem. I cant run any video with ani-cli

[Vihershunde]

In my case mpv icon just flashes in taskbar then closes

[port19x]

Can someone make a debug log please?
ani-cli not properly opening a video on linux is unheard of.
sh -x $(command -v ani-cli) > debug.log

Hi, I ran the debug command on Fedora 40 with Nix package manager. I got a brief SELinux popup and the Wayland icon flashed in the taskbar. Here's the debug log:

GNU nano 7.2 debug.log ^[[2K ^[[1;34mChecking dependencies...^[[0m ^[[2K ^[[1;36mSearch anime: ^[[0m^[[A^[[K^[7^[8^[[J

I'm guessing the issue might be on my end because of improper nix config

Can u elaborate more on the popup details also how are u using nix to invoke ani-cli. if possible, try using ani-cli through nix run nixpkgs#ani-cli

Nix on fedora through wayland is an almost maximally brittle setup.
Throw in flatpak and you're there

Throw in SELinux as well
