Can't use with mpv

[kohane27]

Hello there. Hope you're doing well. Thank you for creating this modern version of dragon!

Description

I tried to use ripdrag to drag subtitle to mpv, but it'd kill mpv and the ripdrag's window would stay remain. The same workflow works with dragon.

Reproducible steps

1. list current directory structure:

➜ ls
sample.mkv  sample.srt

2. run mpv sample.mkv:

➜ mpv sample.mkv
   cplayer:  (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (hevc 1280x718 23.976fps)
   cplayer:  (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (ac3 6ch 48000Hz)
   cplayer:      Subs  --sid=1 '21.srt' (subrip) (external)
Cannot load libcuda.so.1
    ffmpeg: AVHWDeviceContext: Cannot load libcuda.so.1

statusline: (Paused) AV: 00:00:18 / 00:23:22 (1%) x1.80 A-V:  0.000

3. ripdrag --verbose sample.srt

4. drag ripdrag's window to mpv

5. mpv is killed and ripdrag's window persists

Error from mpv:

statusline: (Paused) AV: 00:00:18 / 00:23:22 (1%) x1.80 A-V:  0.000
      file: Cannot open file '': No such file or directory

   cplayer: No video or audio streams selected.
   cplayer:

Version

Linux 6.1.62-1-lts
mpv 0.36.0
ripdrag 0.4.4

Thank you in advance!

Hi, thank you for the report!
I was able to reproduce it and I started looking into it. The problem is probably due to how mpv checks if the dropped file is a subtitle ( https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/player/external_files.c#L57 )
I don't have much time to spend on it right now, but I'll try to fix it in the weekend

EDIT: I got nerdsniped, I'll push the fix in a few minutes ahah

Confirmed it's working. Thank you so much for such a quick reply and fix!
