Open files using command line

Open bhishanpdl opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

This is a great app and greatly helps watching youtube videos while working at the same time.

We can do:

open helium://ANY_WEBSITE
open helium://www.google.com

But, we can not do:

open helium://FILE_PATH
open helium:///Users/my_user_name/hello.sh

Is there a way we can open the file in Helium using terminal commands? May is there is some Applescript, but I am not familiar with it.

Sorry, but this is one of pet projects I just don't have time to work on. I really wish I could help, but I simply can't.

I'd recommend looking into pennywise, although it's chromium based and doesn't use native webkit stuff, which kinda makes it worse. Another option is iina player, which is my favorite app for video playback on macOS.
