[Solved] Vlc wont open directories with spaces in its name

AMTitan · 2021-06-06 22:42:07

So if I try and do "vlc ." it should normally play through all the directory and it does but if one of the directories has space or something that you would need a backslash for it never try and run it. But it does work if I do it manually like "vlc foo\ bar bar\ foo" but just not if I do "vlc .". IDK if anyone else has had this problem before and if any of you did can you tell me how to fix it?

And if someone has a script that works too but I tried to do stuff like

vlc $(find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 bash -c 'printf "%q " "$@"')

but it also does not work and I have tried to work on this a lot but it will not work.
