anime-cli's Issues

Broken when streaming to mpv?

? What would you like to do for me? Stream on a video player (Recommended)
? Which video player would you like to use to stream? mpv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\wolf\anime-cli\anime_cli\__main__.py", line 129, in main
    video_url = searchApi.get_video_url(embed_url)
  File "C:\Users\wolf\anime-cli\anime_cli\search\gogoanime.py", line 55, in get_video_url
    link = re.search(r"\s*sources.*", r.text).group()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

Streaming to browser works perfectly otherwise

Control the quality .

In mpv configuration I set a default quality for the videos I play but when I play a video from this specific package it plays in a different quality.

python 3.7 (and RPi) support

Hi, I want to use this on my Raspberry Pi and unfortunately there's no prebuilt python 3.9 in the Raspberry Pi repositories.
Is it possible to support python 3.7 because the pip that belongs to the python3.9 I built from source doesn't work -> can't install the script

Ability to lower quallity for slower connections

When streaming, the mpv player chooses to stream at the best quality possible, which takes a lot of time to stream on slower connections. There is a lot of buffering if you don't have very fast internet speed.

Android with mpv not working

Opening the video in mpv player is not working.

I tried to play the anime on mpv and I got this :
? What would you like to do for me? Stream on a video player (Recommended) ? Which video player would you like to use to stream? mpv Starting proxy server on ('localhost', 8081) It may take some time to open the video player. Be Patient :) Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Users\AHMED\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\anime_cli\__main__.py", line 167, in <module> main() File "C:\Users\AHMED\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\anime_cli\__main__.py", line 150, in main sp.Popen([video_player, video_url]) File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\subprocess.py", line 951, in __init__ self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\subprocess.py", line 1420, in _execute_child hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args, FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Downloading is not implemented, issues that may come up because of redirects

I tried downloading the anime using vlc, the url redirected to another url with a different part of the video.

example of the url redirects :
https://.../{id}.m3u8
https://.../{id}.3600.ts
https://.../{id}.3601.ts
https://.../{id}.3602.ts
https://.../{id}.3603.ts

and because of the redirects, vlc thought the downloading process was over and in turn it only downloaded ~4 seconds before each redirect.

I think this should be considered when implementing downloading that gogoanime makes it hard to download the whole file right away because of redirects, and I also want to bump the anime downloading implementation progress.

By the way the anime and episode is Naruto and episode 1 and not from browser.

script crashes after search query is submitted

Attempting to use anime-cli via Termux on an SGS9. I'm far from being either a termux or a python wizard, so the issue may not actually be with anime-cli, but I'm not quite savvy enough to determine that for myself, so please forgive me!

anime-cli appears to install normally via pip install anime-cli

When I start the script by entering anime-cli I'm greeted with the prompt ? What anime would you like to watch?. Regardless of what I enter, the result is a stream of errors ending with: InquirerPy.exceptions.InvalidArgument: argument choices cannot be empty

Python version is 3.10.0
Please let me know if there are any logs I can share or further information I can provide.

Termux Screenshot:

KeyboardInterrupt is simply ignored making it impossible to exit the program

In Windows, pressing Ctrl+C does nothing and its impossible to stop the program without closing the command prompt :(
I tested this on Linux I saw no problem, but a better KeyboardInterrupt handling will be cooler

mpv streaming from terminal (mpv) not working again despite upgrade

hi there, it seems we have the same issue as last time with the the ability to stream from mpv not functioning as it should. every time i choose that option this is the output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.10/runpy.py", line 196, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/usr/lib/python3.10/runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/home/yaundere/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anime_cli/__main__.py", line 167, in <module> main() File "/home/yaundere/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anime_cli/__main__.py", line 129, in main video_url = searchApi.get_video_url(embed_url) File "/home/yaundere/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anime_cli/search/gogoanime.py", line 56, in get_video_url link = re.search(r"\s*sources.*", r.text).group() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
