Getting Started

Setup Player

Sho uses the SHO_PLAYER_CMD environment variable to launch your media player. Set it to your player of choice — mpv and VLC are recommended.

mpv

export SHO_PLAYER_CMD="mpv --user-agent='{user_agent}' --http-header-fields='Referer: {referer}' '{url}'"

VLC

export SHO_PLAYER_CMD="vlc --http-user-agent='{user_agent}' --http-referrer='{referer}' '{url}'"

Note

{url}, {user_agent} and {referer} are placeholder for values populated by sho.

{url} is url of video, while {user_agent} and {referer} are headers required for some sources/providers to work.

Installation

cargo install sho
