acestream is broken
A couple of days ago everything was working.
And now…
$ /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-open acestream://b8cad4710b1c3b2b84a82c1ece40c08517b8f766
xdg-open: no method available for opening acestream://b8cad4710b1c3b2b84a82c1ece40c08517b8f766
$ mpv --no-ytdl --cache=yes --hwdec=auto http://127.0.0.1:6878/ace/getstream?id=b8cad4710b1c3b2b84a82c1ece40c08517b8f766
Works fine
OS = Fedora LXQT 40
Last update = today, 2024-05-11
acestream installed via snap
Thanx
It sounds like you need this:
GitHub - Digitalone1/mpv-acestream: Small Lua script that adds AceStream protocol handler to mpv player
If the issue persists, check the output:
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/acestream
mpv acestream://...
mpv acestream://b8cad4710b1c3b2b84a82c1ece40c08517b8f766
[mpv_acestream] AceStream protocol detected.
(+) Video --vid=1 (h264 1920x1080 25.000fps)
(+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=deu (ac3 2ch 48000Hz)
works
From browser dont work
$ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/acestream
xdg-mime: no method available for querying the default application for MIME type of 'x-scheme-handler/acestream'
xdg-mime default mpv.desktop x-scheme-handler/acestream
$ xdg-mime default mpv.desktop x-scheme-handler/acestream
xdg-mime: no method available for setting the default application for MIME type(s) of 'x-scheme-handler/acestream'
I think upgrade 39 → 40 is reason

Browser says (at journalctl)

It looks like versions of some Qt libraries are out of sync:
rpm -q -a | grep -e "5\.15\.12"
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
rpm -q -a | grep -e "5\.15\.12"
no output

And what’s next?
Waiting for a new version of qtxdg-tools?
How long?
Is there a way to update on my own?
I tested it in a VM with other MIME types and also see the message that looks like an error, but it’s actually just a warning as it still works, so let’s continue troubleshooting:

ls -l -h ${FILE}
grep -e ^Exec= ${FILE}

grep -e "^\[" -e "acestream" ~/{.config,.local/share}/mime*

mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- acestream://ac675c82d6dfd4a201532c18b42e48dacb7c32c6
works
if acestreamengine runs
whis no output at terminal
journalctl says:

I run it at my another notebook
where still Fedora LXQT 39
exept qtxdg-mat (it dont installed)

That’s all
and all works…
I have multiple browsers.
Default browser is Vivaldi.
Also have
In the address bar put
acestream://ac675c82d6dfd4a201532c18b42e48dacb7c32c6
Falkon, Chromium, Opera
jumps to DuckDuckGo search
Vivaldi
ask “Open mpv media Player?”
click “Open” - and nothing.
LibreWolf
ask “Open mpv media Player?”
click “Open” - and video plays. BINGO!
and on click acestream:// link
one time asked “always allow start mpv?”
i say “Yes” and LibreWolf always start mpv.
What’s wrong with Falkon, Chromium, Opera?
and my default Vivaldi?
magic!
I was having these problems. with xdg-open “no method available for opening”, after upgrade to Fedora 41. And, as a bonus, Ctrl-click links didn’t work in qterminal. Neither did right-click and choosing “Open Link”.
I wound up putting a trace on xdg-open by putting set -x at the top of thefile. (It’s a shell script after all). It told meqtxdg-mat was missing. So I installed it. And it started working after a few reboots, and possibly after reinstalling all qterminal* packages. I did a lot of stuff, okay? So xdg-open could use some better error messages.
But I hear it’s deprecated and will disappear eventually, in favor of gio-open or some such. Anyone confirm?
