Install curd using the commands under the Fedora section
Sign in to Anilist
Select an Anime
Says Starting Discord broadcast. and the anime episode 1, mpv opens with the menu Drop files or URLs to play here.

Optional context
ani-cli works, but I want to use curd
Issue #95 also is pretty much the same thing, but the person's work around doesn't work when watching the first episode or a movie
