Description

A simple fix to make asynch-dns = false only apply to iOS

The items not marked don’t work on iOS (likely due to how you can only launch VLC with the link and nothing more)

also, this wasn’t tested on Mac OS as I do not have a Mac. It should work tho

a different naming case would have been nice

Hi there, I created the issue related to this PR.

I have tested it on:
Macbook Pro (Apple M3 Pro)
macOS: Sequoia 15.4.1

As far as testing my use case and some various of the above use cases worked as well.
I seem to have had an issue with it connecting to vlc worked perfectly for my use cases.

Thanks @Lockl00p

Wait so does it not work with iina?

[ryuuskylark]

Sorry that I was not clear... Everything worked perfectly, besides a connection to vlc on mac failing, this is completely unrelated to ani-cli on my side. Thank you
