Installation problems mpsyt not found

[amodeo12]

Hi everyone,

After installing mps-youtube in RPi with Raspbian Jessie following the instructions (with pip3) I try to execute it and I get the error:

-bash: mpsyt: command not found

I have also installed youtube-dl and tried to include the path /usr/local/bin in $PATH (not sure if I did it correctly though). I have reinstalled several times, in some of them I didn't get the error, but it didn't start anyway, just prompted for a while and when I interrupted with Ctrl+C I got some library error related with youtube-dl.

Just ask if you any other information. Thank you in advance

EDIT:

After another reinstallation I am getting the error when I make Keyboard Interrupt, it says:

Hi everyone,

Hello !

After installing mps-youtube in RPi with Raspbian Jessie following the instructions (with pip3) I try to execute it and I get the error:

Can you tell what the output of : $ mpsyt -v $ python -V $ pip -V If your system use python Python 2.7, you will not see things installed with pip3, but only thoses installed with pip2 ! ++ Romain -- si l'abbé Reumaux dit dix mots, rebelle à six : syllabaire maudit ! dîme au rebelle assis. -- Schulz, Rémi

mpsyt has incredibly slow startup time on a RPi (I have been there). It usually takes around 15 seconds on my RPi 2, but I have seen it taking up to 30 seconds to just startup. So just give it enough time to start up (Wait for atleast a minute).

One of the main reasons for the slow startup is youtube-dl. They have done an experimental lazy-loading-extractor feature (ytdl-org/youtube-dl#8497) which should improve the speed, but I've never tried it with mpsyt. Feel free to try and report back here.

Getting same error bash: mpsyt: command not found on my RPI 3B. Even changed default python version from 2.7 to 3.5, but still no luck.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mpsyt -v
bash: mpsyt: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python -V
Python 3.5.3
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.5)

UPDATE:
Never mind, missed to add /home/pi/.local/bin to PATH.

I am going to close this as @amodeo12 was able to fix the original issue -bash: mpsyt: command not found mpsyt.

Also as @vn-ki mentioned, it indeed takes a while for mps-youtube to launch on low powered devices like Raspberry Pi, etc. So, grab a coffee and wait. If it takes insanely long (like 5 mins+), please open a separate issue instead.
