voxelshop VS mpv

I suggest creating a shell script to wrap the application so that you can show an error if Java isn't installed or there is a silent crash. I created an install script for the voxelshop project (which is a Java program) here: https://github.com/poikilos/voxelshop/blob/develop/static/install-linux.sh (I improved it just now, but if the PR accepted it will end up here: https://github.com/simlu/voxelshop/blob/develop/static/install-linux.sh). The script generates a desktop file and a bash script which shows the console log if there is a bad exit code (rather than simply doing nothing if java isn't installed or disappearing if an error occurs which writes to the log but doesn't show an error). The project has an Apache2 license and I'm the only author of this script so you can cite the author as VoxelShop or me. Of course, for a professional program, packaging it is ideal, but the generated files are still applicable. An example of the code the install script generates is here: https://pastebin.com/DNKc3hzw and an example of the desktop file it generates is here: https://pastebin.com/VZ5UZzVg . Unfortunately using variables is limited within desktop files to certain desktop environments (a workaround is here), so generating the file (or at least the Path (working directory) and Exec lines) during installation to use absolute paths is best.

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
