The bongo music player has been the coolest find yet in my on going discovery of the many capabilities of Emacs. My only problem is that it can't seem to 1. open or 2. play any of my .flac files. I have downloaded vlc and mpv. All I know to do at this point is to open M-x customize-group RET bongo, and then open Bongo Enabled Backends. Here I check mark either one and set for future sessions. At this point, I can open a bongo buffer and load .flac files. 1. complete. However, when I try to play one of these juicy .flac files, I get a Searching for program: No such file or directory exists, (here we see vlc or mpv, depending on which I checked in the bongo enabled backends step above)".
I have since tried this bit of code, keeping with using mpv instead of vlc
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/bin")))
Now I get an error that says, Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
I edited this post to hopefully meet the requirements better so it isnt deleted. If there is anything further I can do, please let me know. Thanks!
This is the tracing I get in the error.
