I was using the untouched mpv and yt-dlp the way they are shipped. Now tried copy pasting the configs from the docs to corresponding folders - no luck still. Same experience: on press play loading for a sec and then goes back to non-playing view same as right before pressing play. I updated crate to the 1.0.5, where can I find the logs? Also tried the 1.0.5 macos binary - same thing. Sorry I cant create the github issue because don’t want to deanon this account.

Really want this to work, awesome app idea!

Thank you! Log file helped - was an yt-dlp error “no such option —remote-components”. Apparently there were multiple yt-dlp installations in my system and it was resolving the wrong older one. I am able to play videos now - awesome!

Was playing around with it - usually works great, though I found that some videos are getting stuck on few seconds play. My hunch is that it is because it chooses the 4K resolution in these cases and for whatever reason it is choking 3s into the video. Can play same video on the yt directly so don’t think it’s bandwidth

Any way, thank you for your work, this is truly amazing! Thank you for making it available
