Program "mpv" not found. Please install it.

[ninko76]

When I try to run jerry it says that I do not have mpv installed. I have it installed with scoop but it seems like jerry does not detect it. Please help

[justchokingaround]

jerry -e and change the player to be player=mpv.exe

[ninko76]

Worked but now when i type jerry it thinks for a second then goes back to enter command. I did get the anime selector when I typed: jerry -l spanish cyberpunk edgerunners --number 2 --json but after selectinga show nothing happened.

[YuuOrKillua]

Mine has the same error, but not even adding the full path is working player="NOTSHOWINGFORSECURITYREASONS\scoop\apps\mpv\current\mpv.exe".

[justchokingaround]

youre not supposed to specify the full path, just mpv.exe

[YuuOrKillua]

yeah, but this was my last try I tried "mpv.exe", "mpv" and "Full path".

[justchokingaround]

oh wait i just realized you're running it from System32. just run cd in your terminal, and then try running jerry again, it should find the player in path just fine then

[YuuOrKillua]

im not the op of this post im running mine in my user but the same error occurs even if im in the same dir that jerry is in.

[justchokingaround]

try adding bash to windows terminal

[YuuOrKillua]

Did everything you said.

[YuuOrKillua]

And here is how mine .config is.

[justchokingaround]

can you update to the latest version, it should be fixed now: jerry -u (run ur terminal as admin first)

[YuuOrKillua]

Oh sorry my bad. I got it, my mistake now it is working sorry.

Thank U <3

[justchokingaround]

i just pushed the code 2 mins ago, no worries. it's a bug i didn't notice before. @ninko76 can you check my previous comment and lmk if it fixed your issue?

[YuuOrKillua]

well it works now but i think mpv is still not working (for me).

And when i go to update it says:

For context i did in powershell first git bash appears and close really fast i cannot even print it.

[justchokingaround]

oh yeah wait, i somehow fucked up a previous commit i think lol. also you should rename jerry.sh to jerry in path mv /usr/bin/jerry.sh /usr/bin/jerry

[YuuOrKillua]

This wont cause a bug?

[justchokingaround]

it shouldn't

[YuuOrKillua]

[justchokingaround]

idk how powershell works so i can't help u much with that. if u use it from the windows terminal with bash, then i can help. also i just fixed the mpv bug, it should work fine now

[YuuOrKillua]

Oh okay yeah in bash works fine at least the jerry thing im going to update it.

[YuuOrKillua]

I have a question, in my powershell i can call mpv and it shows me that its there:

But in bash it gives me this:

Or am I just writing wrong for bash.

[justchokingaround]

what you can do is just symlink mpv.exe to mpv in bash, since you installed it with scoop. ln -sf $(which mpv.exe) /usr/bin/mpv

[YuuOrKillua]

I did what you told me to and yes mpv now is working on bash the jerry is not giving the mpv not found.

But still does not work. (I tried to change "mpv.exe" for "mpv" none worked)
And none give me the mpv not found error.

[justchokingaround]

can u send me the last snippet of the log so i can check where it fails? just don't accidentally leak your anilist token.

sh -x $(which jerry)

[justchokingaround]

oh, ure not logged in properly, something failed. do rm -rf ~/.local/share/jerry and try to login again

[YuuOrKillua]

Oh i did is working now that option did not apear the last time i tried could be because i did it in powershell?

Well thank you for helping me.

[justchokingaround]

yeah it could be. ps causes unexpected behavior and im not knowledgeable enough to explain why some stuff may or may not happen when using it

[ninko76]

i just pushed the code 2 mins ago, no worries. it's a bug i didn't notice before. @ninko76 can you check my previous comment and lmk if it fixed your issue?

It's still the same, should I reinstall it somehow?

[ninko76]

Or is there a log I can get you?

[justchokingaround]

yeah just run sh -x $(which jerry) and send me the last part (make sure u don't send ur token)

[justchokingaround]

so i deleted your comment bc it contained your token @ninko76 (it appears several times in the log, so just removing it the first time isnt enough). it looks like the authentication fails and ur user_id is empty. try resetting ur credentials entirely, i think that should fix the problem. rm -rf ~/.local/share/jerry and then just run jerry again and follow its instructions

[Qerewe]

I had the same problem as original OP with the current version (1.9.9 currently). It worked perfectly until I tried adding the discordpresence.py, which required me to make a config file, and it started giving the same "mpv not found" error after setting it up. I tried setting discord presence back to false in the config file and deleting the .py file but it kept not working. I was able to fix it by going to the .config folder and deleting the jerry folder. It seems just the existence of the config file made it not work
