unexpected token in media title cause syntax error

[CheesyChocolate]

Describe the bug

If the title contains character that can be interpreted by bash, It can break the script. characters like (, ), ' and etc.

I suggest cleaning the strings before passing them. some sed or tr magic can be used here.

as an example the following is the output error of script.

Now Playing - Grey's Anatomy
/usr/bin/lobster: eval: line 580: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/bin/lobster: eval: line 580: `mpv --sub-file='https://cc.2cdns.com/51/fb/51fbadefae13fd78992253baa2b47922/eng-6.vtt' --force-media-title='Grey's Anatomy - Season 11 - Eps 23: She's Leaving Home (Part 2 of 2)' 'https://b-g-eu-13.raffaellocdn.net:2223/v3-hls-playback/979b78c0942d15c5ea4b8125adf1314d1becab4d1d74a82ca3187966c4b2a8b5e1b4b357700904dc3dabdf61592fa2e3a6f7a7253692a4fa9c86eeefdf37ee87d0e80b89f6053074cf70a65dc41f3e26ce4f1e81283eabb290688d3b6b0f77acfab76c6f362150d842fbc73d9e6113180f606330252dfdadb7859f1db5dad872e5f84c3a9564139951f73b2bbc770684eda276c0f4e88bc555b70562c2f4dd76a69669ceef03d13d15b69d8a5ded37bf/playlist.m3u8' --watch-later-dir='/tmp/lobster/watchlater' --write-filename-in-watch-later-config --save-position-on-quit --quiet'

if i just remove the problematic characters from title, It will work without problem.

right, didn't realize that would happen. in the meantime a fix would be to install hxunent (html-xml-utils is the package name iirc)

[CheesyChocolate]

I already have the said package installed, maybe the script does not use the package properly.

cachyos-extra-v3/html-xml-utils 8.6-2.1 (261.3 KiB 2.7 MiB) (Installed)
    Utilities for manipulating HTML and XML files

[justchokingaround]

and u have the hxunent binary?

[CheesyChocolate]

yes I do.

$ command -v hxunent
/usr/bin/hxunent

$ hxunent -v
hxunent: invalid option -- 'v'
Version 8.6

that's not good. I'll look into it when I have some time
