mps-youtube is not streaming music

[yamsu]

I just updated to ubuntu 14.04 64bit and mps-youtube from pip3. All aspects seems fine expect for the following:

1. songs do not stream anymore, mps waits for the song to download before playing it.
2. the song progress bar does not show.

Is anyone else having this issue. I have also tried this with the developer editions of mps-youtube and pafy

hello i have similar issue after i update mpsyt to latest developer version of mps-youtube and pafy. if i try to stream audio or video, mpsyt wait but dont launch anything :(

Try installing youtube-dl with pip3 install youtube_dl.

[uNouss]

@ids1024 i have youtube_dl
here my config

and here the issue

[ids1024]

Are you using mpv or mplayer?

[uNouss]

@ids1024 i use mpv

[ids1024]

I'm not really sure what the problem is. Does mplayer work?

[uNouss]

@ids1024 mplayer does not work

[ids1024]

Ok, try switching back to mpv, install the debug branch of mpsyt, and start with mpsyt --debug. Then it will (hopefully) display more information when you try to play something.

@ids1024 how can i install the debug branch ?

[ids1024]

sudo pip3 install --upgrade https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube/archive/develop.zip

[uNouss]

i have this with mpsyt --debug after i install the debug branch

[ids1024]

What happens when you try to play a song, while in debug mode?

[uNouss]

hmm nothing stream, i have this

but if i try to run this with mpv

[uNouss]

hmm after 5 7mn i have stream. i launch again for test

i think this issue from youtube-dl

[uNouss]

@ids1024 yes after i upgrade youtube-dl with pip3 install --upgrade https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/archive/master.zip now mpsyt work correctly.

thank you for your help ^_^

Good to see that its working. @yamsu does updating youtube-dl fix the problem for you?

[yamsu]

Hi,
Sorry to have disappeared. Yes the update of youtube-dl has done the trick. Thanks. But i still dont get the old progress bar, i.e [======> ]

But i have not updated mpsyt to the debug version. Should I try that?

[ids1024]

@yamsu I seem to be getting the same behavior. I'll look into it.

[ids1024]

It looks like the problem is with the latest version of mpv renaming the socket input argument.

That issue should be fixed in 7c2470f.
