--output-dir 'Path' is broken

[Peyay]

What happened?

With Version 4.1.0 the --output-dir 'Path' command doesnt work anymore. I'm using aniworld in powershell and .bat

How to reproduce

Copy/paste commands if possible.

1. pip install --upgrade aniworld==4.1.0
2. aniworld --episode https://aniworld.to/anime/stream/series/staffel-1/epsisode-1 --language "German Dub" --output-dir 'localpath'

Output / error

Paste the full output (best with --debug). If it’s long, attach a file.

usage: aniworld [-h] [-d] [-V] [-nm] [-x] [-a {Download,Syncplay,Watch}] [-l {English Sub,German Dub,German Sub}]
                [-p {Doodstream,Filemoon,LoadX,Luluvdo,Streamtape,VOE,Vidmoly,Vidoza}] [-sk] [-kw] [-r] [-sto]
                [-A {High,Low,Remove}] [-f EPISODE_FILE] [-pu PROVIDER_URL] [-w] [-wP WEB_PORT] [-wN] [-wE] [-wA]
                [-wS] [-wFS] [-sH SYNCPLAY_HOST] [-sR SYNCPLAY_ROOM] [-sU SYNCPLAY_USERNAME] [-sP SYNCPLAY_PASSWORD]
                [url ...]
aniworld: error: unrecognized arguments: --output-dir

Environment

• Install method: pip

For now I downgraded to 3.9.0 (pip install aniworld==3.9.0) where this still works

Hey, you can use -o 'localpath' to set a path.

In addition, starting with v4 aniworld seems to be using sys.argv to read the link, which means you can no longer use
--episode. You must provide the link as a positional argument, and it has to be the last argument. You may also want to use -a Download to ensure that aniworld downloads the link.

For example:

aniworld --language "German Dub" -o 'localpath' -a Download https://aniworld.to/anime/stream/series/staffel-1/episode-1

This worked for me.
