Fixing errors

If you encounter "Video url not found" or any breaking issue, then make sure you are on latest version by typing sudo ani-cli -U to update on Linux, Mac and Android. On Windows, run gitbash as administrator then there type ani-cli -U. If after this the issue persists then open an issue.
If you see sed warnings or your history entries have disappeared after updating, then update your history file with the history transition script.

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pystardust/ani-cli/master/hist_transition.sh" | sh

It doesn't work for all anime, but the ones it can't find will print out alongside their episode numbers. In the end clean up: rm -rf ./ani-cli
