# SVT Play Stream Launcher
|
||||
|
||||
A simple tool that lets you watch SVT Play programs directly in a video player.
|
||||
|
||||
## What It Does
|
||||
|
||||
This script makes it easy to search for and watch SVT Play programs. Instead of opening a web browser, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Search for a program by name
|
||||
2. Browse popular programs
|
||||
3. Select what you want to watch
|
||||
4. It opens in your video player automatically
|
||||
|
||||
## What You Need
|
||||
|
||||
Before using this script, make sure you have these programs installed:
|
||||
|
||||
- `yt-dlp` - Downloads video information
|
||||
- `mpv` - Video player
|
||||
- `zenity` - Creates the dialog windows
|
||||
- `jq` - Processes data
|
||||
- `curl` - Downloads information
|
||||
|
||||
The script will tell you if something is missing and how to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Use It
|
||||
|
||||
### Start the script
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./svt.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A window will appear with two options:
|
||||
- **Search for Program** - Type the name of what you want to watch
|
||||
- **Browse Popular Programs** - See what's trending on SVT Play
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Searching for a program
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click "Search for Program"
|
||||
2. Type what you want (like "Wallander" or "News")
|
||||
3. Wait 10-20 seconds for results (this is normal, the server is a bit slow)
|
||||
4. Click on the program you want
|
||||
5. It automatically opens in your video player
|
||||
6. Enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Browsing popular programs
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click "Browse Popular Programs"
|
||||
2. Wait for the list to load (10-20 seconds)
|
||||
3. Scroll through and pick something
|
||||
4. Press OK and it starts playing
|
||||
|
||||
## If Something Goes Wrong
|
||||
|
||||
### "Missing required tools"
|
||||
You need to install something. The script will tell you exactly what to install. On Arch Linux:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pacman -S yt-dlp mpv zenity jq curl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On Ubuntu/Debian:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt install yt-dlp mpv zenity jq curl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Program not found"
|
||||
The program you searched for doesn't exist or isn't available on SVT Play right now.
|
||||
|
||||
### "Nothing happens after clicking OK"
|
||||
This is usually just the server being slow. Wait a bit longer. The script is still working.
|
||||
|
||||
### "Video player doesn't open"
|
||||
Make sure mpv is installed. 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
