Got the scraper whupped finally and the gui script modded, looking good! 4 different viewing modes now too. All in under 45 kb.

Holy cow, spent all day today and part of yesterday just trying to squash one bug, whatever real devs get paid (if they get paid) is not near enough, this stuff is HARD.

But I did it, squashed the only couple of bugs left, this thing is stable and works great! Just need to work on a couple more features and it will be done.

Added some seek functions and created a wrapper script for startup that checks for running instance of vsvp as two at the same time don't play nice, and also moved the DB check in there from the main script. Perfectly useable now, but i'm working on a couple of possible additions. But i'm happy as it is. This was a lot of work, the inherent limitations of ffplay for a backend as compared to something like mpv, made it a real challenge, I had to cobble together features in some odd ways, especially since I was going for minimalism of code. Still under 45k for the whole thing.

Would it be possible for you to make A PKGBUILD of that?

Also, does this application support sndio and alsa?

Just asking since the size interests me.

or even in source if possible too.

I do use Hyperbola though.

Hi zappy! Are you referring to the video player? If so i'm about to package tomorrow probably, just a plain .deb using dpkg-deb --build like my other ones. This app was 100% built on an Alsa-only system, it plays nice with AlsaTune too. That being said I don't know how it would play if at all with sndio. It also is built on Daedalus libraries like the music player, and won't work on Excalibur until I build it against the newer libav. It is possible to install the 59 packages alongside the 61 packages and have it work, but that's a lot of extra depends. You could try building it yourself, it's just the main script that needs doing, the wrapper and the scraper are just bash/yad and i'm happy to share the source code, build depends and compile command that i'm currently using.

Also just in general, probably not going to work right on Wayland, the script includes an X11-specific hack and headers.

If you're talking about the music player the .deb is already up on my sourceforge.

Uploaded the first test version, looks good, test installs all went well and no issues playing.
