Check with: `which mpv` - -## See What's Happening - -The script keeps a log of everything it's doing. If you want to see what's going on: - -```bash -tail -f ~/.svtplay.log -``` - -This shows you all the activity in real-time. Good for understanding what the script is doing. - -## Notes - -- Video plays in mpv, which is a lightweight video player -- Everything is logged to `~/.svtplay.log` -- The program searches the actual SVT Play website, not a saved list -- Searching and loading takes 10-20 seconds because the server is slow - this is normal -
