acestreamengine not starting automatically

[gi94]

It plays stream with mpv by default use:

acestream-launcher “your url”

If you want different player (vlc for exemple):

acestream-launcher -p vlc “your url”

Regards.

@peledzius Try the master branch, it has a potential fix for this issue. Please report back if it works.

[peledzius]

@jonian Thank you, it works perfectly now.

[peledzius]

Sorry, but you didn't understood the problem here. By the way, I changed default player to VLC in acestream_launcher.py.

On my computer, engine starts automatically

Be sure you have the latest version? (3.1.16-6)

[peledzius]

Yes, I installed acestream-launcher again, but problem persists.

acestreamengine --version
version: 3.1.16 revision: 3258

I'm on Xubuntu 16.04

@gi94 Thank you for trying to help.
@peledzius I will have to set up a VM to test it. Any more info I should know to replicate your setup?

[peledzius]

@jonian I'm using not Ubuntu but Xubuntu 16.04 64bit.
