Usage for Windows noobs

• Optionally, edit a+v.conf to set your player or other stuff. Almost any value defined by a+v function can be overridden in config.
• Use assoc and ftype commands to invoke the a+v.exe, like this:

for %i in (.mkv .mp4 .wmv) do assoc %i=player
ftype player=c:\bin\a+v.exe "%1"

Compilation

1. Download Red (use nightly builds!)
2. Clone this repository
3. Download all the dependencies. To do that in Red console type:

foreach url [
	https://gitlab.com/hiiamboris/red-cli/-/raw/master/cli.red
	https://gitlab.com/hiiamboris/red-mezz-warehouse/-/raw/master/glob.red
	https://gitlab.com/hiiamboris/red-mezz-warehouse/-/raw/master/composite.red
	https://gitlab.com/hiiamboris/red-mezz-warehouse/-/raw/master/setters.red
	https://gitlab.com/hiiamboris/red-mezz-warehouse/-/raw/master/with.red
][
	set [_ file] split-path url
	write probe file read url
]

4. Compile the exe: red -r -e a+v.red
5. If you're compiling for Windows, use -t MSDOS flag (should be the default) and then run this command from the Red console:

flip-exe-flag %a+v.exe

This will stop Windows from automatically showing a console for it. This step only relevant for --quiet option, if you wish to call the player without a terminal window.
