flix-cli

flix-cli is a command-line tool for searching and streaming movies using magnet links and webtorrent-cli.

How It Works

flix-cli is a bash script that scrapes movies from 1337x to retrieve magnet links, enabling you to stream movies directly in your terminal using mpv and webtorrent-cli. The script relies on GNU utilities such as sed, awk, paste, and cut. Make sure you have the latest version of npm installed.

Warning

• Use a VPN: This script retrieves torrents from 1337x, which is of course a torrent site that ISPs usually don't like. Always use a VPN.
• NSFW Content: The script doesn't filter out NSFW content. Be cautious.
• No Series Support: Currently, the script does not support TV series and will play a random episode if a series is searched. A workaround is to search for specific episodes.

Requirements

• npm
• webtorrent-cli
• mpv
• make

Usage

To search for a movie, use the following command:

$ flix-cli <search>

Alternatively, you can enter the program to get a search prompt by simply typing flix-cli. The search results will be displayed in the following format:

• First column: Total size of the file.
• Second column: Name of the torrent (including details like quality, video codec, audio codec, etc.).
• Third column: Seeders and leechers.
