    What does your ~/.bashrc look like? My last change was modifying a playlist command

    spoiler: I explain my last change to my ~/.bashrc file
    playlist https://www.youtube.com/@YouTube/videos
    

    or

    playlist /home/username/Videos
    

    or just from any directory with files

    playlist
    

    And then takes all the videos found at the url or at the path (including within folders), adds them to a playlist, shuffles them, and plays them from mpv.

    playlist() {
            param=""
    
            # If the first parameter has a length more than 1 character
            if [ ${#1} -gt 1 ]; then
                    param="${@}"
            else
                    param="."
            fi
    
            screen mpv $param --shuffle --ytdl-raw-options-add=cookies-from-browser=firefox --loop-playlist=inf --no-keepaspect-window --no-auto-window-resize
    }
