cinecli

Search, stream, and download movies from the terminal.

./cinecli <search>

Three prompts: pick a movie → pick quality → pick action (stream/download).

Quick start

git clone <repo-url> && cd cinecli
./cinecli inception

First run auto-installs dependencies. After that, just run:

./cinecli "the matrix"
./cinecli "interstellar 2014"
./cinecli "parasite"

How it works

Two files in the same directory:

File	Role
cinecli	Bash script — detects your OS, installs deps, runs the search, shows fzf menus, builds magnet links, and streams via webtorrent
torrentsearch.py	Python script — searches YTS mirrors, falls back to TPB API, prints results as TSV

The flow:

you type: ./cinecli inception
  → cinecli calls torrentsearch.py "inception"
  → torrentsearch.py scrapes YTS → TPB API fallback → prints TSV
  → cinecli shows results in fzf: pick movie → pick quality → pick action
  → cinecli builds magnet link, launches webtorrent → streams to mpv

Platforms

OS	Package manager	Works?
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)	apt	✓

Dependencies auto-installed

• curl, fzf, mpv, python3
• Node.js + webtorrent-cli (or peerflix as fallback)

No config files, no API keys, no tracking.
