Program "vlc" not found even though I have it installed about ani-cli

Have you put your VLC to your windows environment path? If not, try to add it and close and open the gitbash

@Haikal-Ravendy I don't quite understand what you mean by this, I have vlc installed in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC, and I thought that's all u needed to do

3- Add vlc to Windows Env PATH like so: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC.

Taken from the installation of ani-cli for windows. If you don't know how to do it, you can try google "How to add environment path in windows [Your window's version]".

Hope that helps

I just tried that, and it still isn't working, I've tried changing the variable name and value, but still isn't working

how about changing line 5
player_fn="vlc"
to
player_fn="/c/program files/videolan/vlc/vlc.exe"
this change worked for me.

use vim or notepad to open and edit ani-cli-win

now I can select what anime to watch and stuff, but after it says "getting data for episode" it just shows that it's currently playing, but vlc doesn't play anything. thank you for the help though
