mov-cli is a command line tool with plugin support that streamlines the process of streaming media from the comfort of your terminal; so you can show off to your friends the superiority of the command line. 💪 The tool is sort of a framework that handles metadata, configuration and scraping of the media to be streamed in your media player of choice.

mov-cli is not a piracy tool; in fact, we encourage the opposite through the existence of our plugins mov-cli-fs and mov-cli-media-server. 🫵 You obtain the media. You pick the plugins.

• A supported platform:
  • Linux
  • Windows
  • Android (via Termux)
  • iOS (via iSH Shell)
  • MacOS
• python (required, with pip)
• lxml (optional, ⚡ faster scraping)
• fzf (optional but highly recommended)
• mpv (recommended & default media player)

To get running these are all the prerequisites you'll need.

With the prerequisites installed, mov-cli can be installed via the pip command on all platforms with Python version 3.8 or above.

pip install mov-cli -U

Check out the wiki on installation for more in-depth guidance on installing mov-cli.

mov-cli comes packaged with a CLI interface via the mov-cli command you can use in your respective terminal.

1. Install the scraper plugin of your choice. Visit this wiki page on how to do so and the mov-cli-plugin topic for a list of third-party mov-cli plugins.

mov-cli -e

Alternatively, you may also edit by manually opening the config file. See this Wiki page on that.

[mov-cli.plugins]
youtube = "mov-cli-youtube"

2. Scrape away!

mov-cli -s youtube flight 370

The command above searches for flight 370 with our youtube plugin, however once again mov-cli is plugin based and there are many of them in the wild. 😉

Pull requests are welcome and appreciated. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
