Unable to pull audio & screenshot from funimation about mpvacious

[tatsumoto-ren]

mpvacious retrieves the video's filename from mpv. In your case it says

quiundefined

That's very mysterious.

If I may add on, the end of the funimation url is "qid=undefined".

I believe this may have something to do with how funimation and having anti robot detection but if it's something else I'm not sure.

I thought though that since I can play it through mpv, I should be able to also extract the audio too

[tatsumoto-ren]

Card creation will work if the stream url is supplied to the mpv encoder. You need to figure out how to retrieve it. The appropriate changes then could be applied to the add-on's code.

Oh I see what you mean. Lastly, by add-on, do you mean the chrome extension or the mpvacious add-on?

From what I'm getting, I'll have to find out is how to supply that stream url to mpv so mpvacious can extract it then from mpv.

[tatsumoto-ren]

I mean this add-on. If we figure out how mpv gets the stream url it might be possible to automate card creation.

I've actually been encountering the same issue but with Plex playing through mpv.

Screenshots:

(I've blurred out my plex auth token)

Snapshots are not made and the audio doesn't play when clicking the play button.

[tatsumoto-ren]

I assume the media files fail to get created. The reason lies somewhere in the fact that the source is a remote url.

[SecondaryH]

Yeah I guess its something that I'll have to accept as a con. Atleast I can manually add an image for context

Environment:
OS: Windows 10
Update: Latest windows 10
Latest mpv version - 0.33.0 (2-28-21)

Bug
No audio and no snapshot.

I'm coming back to this topic as I've encountered some errors with password protected streams (on VRV). Is there a way to obtain the audio and image of a password protected stream to MPV using mpvacious? When using mpvacious, it seems that it doesn't use my mpv.conf settings as I have ytdl settings that provide VRV with my username, password and formatting settings.
