I was wondering whether it was normal for the terminal to display the lines [file] Cannot open file 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:eb99199d9adbb77661a436ce4716e0b05913a124': Invalid argument and Failed to open magnet:?xt=urn:btih:eb99199d9adbb77661a436ce4716e0b05913a124. every time I try to play a torrent with mpv?

@NomaanMalick It is because that torrent is old and no one seeding. Its a dead torrent. Try a healthy torrent. And use " " from next time. Understand?

I'm not quite sure what the issue is here. The red text is normal. The hook only runs if mpv fails to open the file/url internally.
Metadata downloaded should suggest that playback should begin soon. And when i test myself it does.

Note that mkv's are not fully supported for streaming in the webtorrent library. So it might need to download more data before playback can begin.

That's all I wanted to know. Whether it was normal for the red text to show up? Thank you for clarifying that it is normal.
