--vlc: command not found

[roccomuso]

• WebTorrent version: 0.95.1
• Node.js version: 6.2.1
• OS: Ubuntu 16.04

I'm trying to launch this command on my webtorrent CLI:

webtorrent download <magnet_uri> --vlc

to have the stream directly prompted to vlc. But on console I got --vlc: command not found.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I surround the magnet_uri with "quotes"?

The --vlc option only works when streaming, so you shouldn't be using download
Just do webtorrent <magnet_uri> --vlc

Alright thanks, my mistake. Shouldn't be worth capture this kind of silly mistakes?

@roccomuso You need to surround the magnet uri with quotes.

@rom1504 Actually, webtorrent download <magnet_uri> --vlc and webtorrent <magnet_uri> --vlc are the same.
