launch mpv android application from termux
has anyone successfully input a command to launch an mpv android application using termux with a MP4 file in termux directory? I tried 'am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "file://$PWD/big_buck_bunny.mp4" -n is.xyz.mpv/.MPVActivity >/dev/null 2>&1' and it launches mpvbut it closes suddenly with no error from mpv or termux. Did I do something wrong with the command that was inputted?

@Foxtelemetry try
termux-open
- if you're in Termux's own files then mpv can't read those
- >/dev/null 2>&1 "with no errors" ... You just yeeted all the errorsmpv expect stream rather than data uri so it requires content provider for tht and thus termux-open will aork
Still want to use am try
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/root/primary" and select file even from termux dir and ot will open app hooser
