Script doesn't work without terminal on macOS Ventura 13.3

[adriannedbailo]

I'm encountering an issue where I can't launch MPV when opening a video without using the terminal. Additionally, there's another minor problem that I didn't face when using Linux. MPV doesn't seem to respond when I focus on the subtitle window, and vice versa — subtitles don't work when the playback window is in focus. For instance, I'm unable to interact with the keyboard when the subtitle window is active. I can see both components, but unfortunately, they don't seem to interact with each other simultaneously.

I don't use Mac. So I can't help.

When I launch this script using mpv via Finder, it doesn't run. Yet, it works correctly when initiated through the terminal. I suspect the difference lies in the environments of Finder and the terminal. While I'm familiar with the terminal's environment, I'm unsure about Finder's. Is there a way to either modify the script or provide it permissions so it doesn't depend on Finder?

There is a list of environment variables from a terminal session on a macOS system.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/mpv.1#load~4
--load-osd-console=<yes|no> Enable the built-in script that shows a console on a key binding and lets you enter commands (default: yes). The ` key is used to show the console by default, and ESC to hide it again.

This way you'd be able to see console output right in the mpv and find out errors that the script might give.

Regrettably it doesn't work and it's unclear why.

Evidently the python part of the script does not start. The problem must be here:

interSubs/interSubs.lua

Line 22 in 990ea55

pyname = '~/.config/mpv/scripts/interSubs.py'

or/and here:

interSubs/interSubs.lua

Line 69 in 990ea55

start_command_2 = start_command:format(pyname:gsub('~', os.getenv('HOME')), mpv_socket_2, sub_file_2)

Try entering full path instead on line 22.

I've tried the first step, and it didn't help. I didn't understand what I should change in line 69, can you help me with that?

[oltodosel]

I was wrong about the python part not starting, it very well might be. Console within mpv does not show output from the python script for some reason. I missed that, though your second screenshot clearly shows that.

You can try adding environment variables that your terminal uses right into here:

interSubs/interSubs.lua

Line 13 in 990ea55

start_command = 'python3 "%s" "%s" "%s"'

It should look like this:
start_command = 'ENV1=ENV1 ENV2=ENV2 python3 "%s" "%s" "%s"'

python3 should be changed to what your Mac uses
