Describe the question

I want to open some video with yazi, but it simply doesn't work. xdg-open works fine tho.
My example is a mpv file

And when I press enter to open it or select mpv in the interactive open, nothing happen. But with xdg-open <file> there's no issue and it uses vlc player.

Is there something to setup ?

Anything else?

No response

Hi there!
My guess is that you don't have mpv installed.
You can check by running mpv --version or which mpv.

Oh damn I'm stupid I read mkv, the file extension. Thank you !
