Created a service in the form of a python script in which VLC with a specific playlist should be started by command. Service plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.bioxakep.biobot.plist</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/Users/BioMac/Documents/Scripts/newHome.py</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/tmp/biobot.out</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/tmp/biobot.err</string>
</dict>
</plist>
The ~/Library/LaunchAgents directory is missing in principle, so the service is located in the /Library/LaunchAgents directory. Service started normally, but: In this script I try to start the program (VLC with the parameter - playlist):
os.system('open -a vlc /Users/BioMac/Desktop/Radio.m3u')
VLC tries to start and hangs, but in the log view error:
LSOpenURLsWithRole () failed for the application /Aplplications/VLC.app with error -600 for the file /Users/BioMac/Desktop/Radio.m3u.
LSOpenURLsWithRole () failed for the application /Aplplications/VLC.app with error -10810 for the file /Users/BioMac/Desktop/Radio.m3u.
Help me to understand...
I think you should use Console.app
(Reveal it with Ctrl+Space) to discover more information about the hangs.
