script hangs

[whatamesss]

hey guys! awesome thing you've got here...since youtube sucks out loud these days, i was needing something to use with firefox & yt-dlp

one issue: when the video play finishes or is killed, the script exits cleanly, however if the video or url fails to play, the 'sh' process hangs indefinitely, you can get quite a collection of them going...

figure it needs a 'die' instruction somewhere..

cheers

follow-up: i use kde plasma, which means notifications disappear on their own... so i tried removing the -w from notify-send, but nothing changed. both the 'sh' process and the 'notify-send' process hang when the url cannot be opened by mpv.

i also just confirmed that if i click 'close' on the notification both processes die..okay so the problem is with notify-send...once the notification is gone, i have no way of closing it. can you please make it timeout?

fixed! by replacing "-w" with "-t 5000"
