Configuring a different player via player_path which leads to mpv.exe on Windows side produces an error (WSL)

Describe the bug
Running command anipy-cli in bash produces following (yellow) error message:
anipy-cli: error: Specified player `/mnt/c/path/to/dir/mpv-x86_64-v3-20231231-git-abc2a74/mpv.exe` is unknown
which exits the app immediately

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open /home/user/.config/anipy-cli/config.yaml and change value of "player_path" from mpv to /mnt/c/path/to/dir/mpv-x86_64-v3-20231231-git-abc2a74/mpv.exe (with or without " makes no difference in my tests) and save the file
  2. Run command anipy-cli in bash
  3. See error anipy-cli: error: Specified player `/mnt/c/path/to/dir/mpv-x86_64-v3-20231231-git-abc2a74/mpv.exe` is unknown

Expected behavior
Bash command anipy-cli should start the app and ask what anime to search for.

Required-by:

Platform

  • OS: WSL (Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS) on Windows 10 (Build 19045.3930)
    WSL-Version: 2.0.9.0
    Kernelversion: 5.15.133.1-1
    WSLg-Version: 1.0.59
    MSRDC-Version: 1.2.4677
    Direct3D-Version: 1.611.1-81528511
    DXCore-Version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
    Windows-Version: 10.0.19045.3930
    Python Version 3.12.1

Additional context
Maybe this is not a bug but if I run following bash command:
alias mpv="/mnt/c/path/to/mpv.exe"
I can run mpv straight from WSL via following bash command:
mpv /mnt/c/path/to/file (leads to file on Windows) OR mpv /path/to/file (inside Linux) OR mpv URL
and all of them open the Windows MPV player without any issues

So this should be doable, since the windows mpv.exe accepts the same arguments (I'm using the mpv.exe 64bit file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/64bit-v3/).

Would be nice if this feature would be implemented in case this is not a bug.

Before the question arises: I'm not using the mpv player which can be installed via apt since the video and audio stutters more often than not

the problem was the .exe, anipy cli did not account for that
