Heliconia is an efficient shell program for conveniently searching and playing video series.
Before you can start using Heliconia, there are a couple of requirements you need to be aware of. Firstly, you will need to change the variable video to point to the location of your video collection. This is essential for the script to work properly. Secondly, you may need to change the video player settings to suit your preferences. For example, if you prefer to use Totem instead of Mplayer, you will need to modify the command accordingly.
Once you have set up Heliconia to your liking, you can start using it to search, show your results, play your videos and exit the script when you are done. It's incredibly easy to use; simply select the letter that corresponds to the option you want and press Enter. The script provides on-screen prompts to guide you through each step of the process.
The latest release of Heliconia has fixed a bug related to find syntax errors. The script now uses apostrophes around file extensions and no longer uses the video_type variable, which caused some issues with single quotes.
In summary, if you are looking for a straightforward and user-friendly way to manage your video collection, Heliconia is definitely worth checking out.
