Cannot install on mac m2 about youtube-tui HOT 4 CLOSED

the error message says that the sixels library is not present in your system, fyi it is used to display images in terminal.

if you don't want sixels you can do the followings:

• Install without sixels: use halfblocks to display pixelated image: cargo install --no-default-features -F halfblock -F clipboard -F mpv
• Install without any image capabilities: cargo install --no-default-features F clipboard -F mpv

since you're on a mac you might encounter more errors and stuff, i'm leaving this issue open

I think you meant this command

cargo install youtube-tui --no-default-features -F halfblock -F clipboard -F mpv

just leaving it here if someone encounter the same thing.

Anyway, how do i install sixel in mac tho? i tried to install libsixel and lsix from brew but it's not working. so i tried your suggested command, but now i got another error saying mpv is not found, so i tried to install it too via homebrew. but it still does not work

idk what to do now

Turns out i was using the wrong one. i should've installed the mpv cask, not formulae 😅
So i tried to install the cask but still getting the same issue. From browsing the issue i found out that the issue is probably related to Homebrew/homebrew-core#126368.
So i followed instruction from this issue deus0ww/homebrew-tap#9 but still no luck

I'll just post this here for future references. I'll comeback later to try if i have time. Thanks @Siriusmart for helping out 😄
(Installing asahi linux seems cool, but it's such an over the top solution for this lol)

• Did you successfully install mpv?
• Try cargo install --git https://github.com/Siriusmart/youtube-tui --no-default-features -F halfblock -F clipboard -F mpv, I know it sounds stupid but the mpv the crates.io version tries to link to is 2 years old and somehow work for ubuntu. The git version works on bleeding edge Arch
• Otherwise it could be something wrong with mpv, you can even give that up by installing it without -F mpv, note that you will then have to change up the config in commands.yml as you would have disable the embedded mpv player which is huge QoL and the default settings depends on that.
