Fix edge cases of player app setup #870
Conversation
Even if vlc is the only installed supported player mpsyt would not pick it upon config first generation and force to manually specify it within app
If the configured player have been uninstalled before specifying a new one you could end locked out of mpsyt because of the program crashing to FileNotFoundError.
Handle this exception and still allow to enter the main interface to change the player without having to reinstall the older one.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
set player is not limited to mplayer, mpv and vlc.
|
What if I put the elif of vlc on the last spot to hold it as last resort? Which other players should I put on the example command? |
|
Any updates on this? Is it gonna get merged, what other changes should I do? |

I just came across a case where I was installing mpsyt on a new computer without mplayer and having the program crash before being able to configure mpv as my player of choice. Having it autodetect players will be great. I don't really use VLC, but if its not working properly I think we should only autodetect the two actually supported players, I would like it to say something along the lines of And while we do technically make it possible to use other players than those two, we don't support them officially so there is no need to mention that here. |
Allow VLC to be autodetected and allow changing player if the old one was uninstalled.
