Chatterino cannot find streamlink path

[ALazyMeme]

Describe the bug
Chatterino throws an error when the quality is set to Choose:
Unable to find Streamlink executable Make sure your custom path is pointing to the DIRECTORY where the streamlink executable is located

To reproduce

1. Set custom streamlink path (I have mine set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\bin")
2. Set quality to Choose
3. Try to launch a stream
4. Set to Source
5. Notice that it works

Screenshots

Chatterino version
Chatterino Nightly 2.2.2 (commit 913193f, 19.09.2020)

Operating system
Windows 10

Additional Information
Uncheck the custom installation option and it starts working all of a sudden?

I have the exact same issue, Chatterino Nightly 2.2.2 (commit 0814fca)

Works fine for me on Chatterino 2.2.2 (commit 07fc0c3) and streamlink 1.5.0

update: 913193f works fine for me aswell

@ALazyMeme what version of streamlink are you running?

I have the same issue. Streamlink works by itself. Windows 10, Streamlink 1.7.0 (latest stable), Chatterino 2.2.2 (commit 07fc0c3).

I have the same issue in Linux where Chatterino is installed from Flathub. PATH to streamlink is set globally, and even though I override it with the full path to the executable, it doesn't work - it's like in OP's screenshot. Chatterino v2.3.3 and Streamlink v2.3.0

I'm pretty sure that with Flatpak version of Chatterino there's something different going on, most likely unrelated to the issue present on Windows. @ilyazzz explained that a couple times to me but I've forgotten what was the deal exactly.

You need to remove the "" when setting the streamlink path.
For me:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Streamlink/bin works
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Streamlink/bin" doesn't work

C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\bin works
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\bin" doesn't work

Setting Choose or Source doesn't matter.

@Brog33 the Flatpak issue is resolved with #3178 , the update is already on Flathub. More info here: flathub/com.chatterino.chatterino#1

@flex3r @jprochazk do you still have this issue after updating and removing "" from the path?

[flex3r]

Just tested again and I got the same results as @apa420 now. In addition, chatterino also finds streamlink in the default path without setting a custom path.

[apa420]

I will then assume the issue is resolved for now.
So I will close it.

If the issue persists I'll reopen the issue.

(As a note maybe there should be some mention of not using "" in the error message, since I was confused by this as well.)
