  Did you add them as separate strings like this? subprocess.run(["mpv", "--vo=tct", "--quiet", DirectLink]) Otherwise your terminal may be missing true-color terminal mode or the mpv in your distro doesn't have that output plugin. (You can check with "mpv --vo=help")

    If, like me, you forget where to split the command and arguments, shlex.split in the standard library can split the raw string for you.

      Rule of thumb is every space, except ones you'd normally put between quotes. so e.g. foo quix-quiz "bar baz" turns into ["foo", "quix-quiz", "bar baz"] Though do note that you don't get an extra set of quotes on "bar baz" which is slightly confusing, but makes sense once you think about it a bit.

  You need to edit spongebob-cli to add the arguments to the code where it calls mpv. It sounds like you're just running it and providing the arguments to its prompt.
