[pjkool]

Hi,
I am getting error when running
$ python3 $HOME/bin/music-caster/src/music_caster.py --debug
DEBUG: True
Locked music_caster.lock pid = 11110
Cannot load lib specified by PYTHON_VLC_LIB_PATH env. variable

what is the problem?
Thank You very much

When did you clone the repo? It works in Manjaro.

Try the following steps:

1. If you cloned the repo, check your git config:

cd $HOME/bin/music-caster
git config core.symlinks

If the result is false, run git config core.symlinks true to enable it then git checkout src/vlc_lib/ to update your files.

2. If you still have this error after the above step, or you downloaded the code without git, try to use your own libvlc files as a workaround:
   1. make sure libvlc-dev is installed: sudo apt install libvlc-dev
   2. Run whereis libvlc.so in your terminal to find your system lib files.
      (The output might looks something like this: libvlc.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlc.so)
   3. Copy your lib files to src/vlc_lib folder and replace the old files.
      e.g. cp -f /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlc* $HOME/bin/music-caster/src/vlc_lib/

Thanks fz0000. Linux support definitely in the dumpster right now. I don't have the time but I want to create a docker image with the dependencies so that I can build an AppImage fairly easily.
