--video-file=FILE flag does not work (opens with only subtitles)

[listedegarde]

The -v, --video-file flag does not seem to work. The srt file opens all by itself, and no video file is opened. No errors occur in the terminal (other than a GTK-warning: "Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to GtkApplicationWindow 0x2f4a2a0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?"). Various methods I have tried:

• gaupol -v file.mp4 file.srt
• gaupol -v=file.mp4 file.srt
• gaupol --video-file file.mp4 file.srt
• gaupol --video-file=file.mp4 file.srt

And I have tried inverting the "srt" and -v file.mp4 as well for all 4 commands.

The real reason I wanted this is because when I open a SRT file, I want it to open the MP4 file at the same time. I thought that I could simply create a bash script, but since the flag is not working, I cannot.

So as a suggestion, I would say see if you can add an option to automatically open the video file in the same folder with the same name when opening the SRT file.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with Gaupol 1.3.1

The --video-file argument predates the internal video player and what it does is the same as "Select Video" from the "Tools" menu. It basically selects the video used by the external video player. If your filenames differ only in the extension, e.g. file.mp4 and file.srt, then the selection is automatic and no need to specify it.

But yes, by now, I guess it should load the video in the internal player. I'll fix it.
