Re: [orca-list] Defaulting to command line instead of Gnome or Mate

[John Covici <covici ccs covici com>]

I had never heard of youtube-viewer, I downloaded, but could not get
it to work.  I have mplayer installed, but specifying --vo=null
--video-player=mplayer gave me the description of the vieeo followed
by something not in ASCII, and then it said search for videos type h
for help.

I was in a regular virtual terminal when I did this.
