Show HN: CineCLI – Browse and torrent movies directly from your terminal

144 pointsby samsep10ltoday at 5:17 AM48 commentsview on HN

Hi HN

I built CineCLI — a cross-platform terminal app to browse movies, view details, and open torrents directly in your system torrent client.

Features: - Search movies from the terminal - Rich UI with ratings, runtime, genres - Interactive & non-interactive modes - Magnet handling via system default client - Linux/macOS/Windows support - No ads, no tracking

GitHub: https://github.com/eyeblech/cinecli PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/cinecli/

Would love feedback from terminal + Python folks

Great job! I've achieved comparable results on my Android TV with Stremio[1] and the Torrentio[2] plugin. Being able to use the terminal for streaming would be a nice thing to have in Linux. It would also be cool to check for malicious files before downloading.

If you know how to use a CLI tool then you could also know how to download proper high quality releases without much effort. No private tracker and interview shenanigans. YTS is a bottom of the barrel quality. I actually don't even see who is the target audience of this unless you just made as an exercise to build an app on top of an API.

An echo of Popcorn Time can he heard bouncing around the software cathedral… The takedown notices will start coming in if CineCLI is too easy to use! Though looks like it doesn't play anything itself – _might_ be safe

built something similar but a webapp where you can search using any tracker supported by jackett and stream in your browser, can have a look here https://github.com/hauxir/rapidbay

What I'd like - a tool to stream to timestamps and then stream out between two timestamps to a local file.

This would really improve various workflows.

YSK there is a (seemingly famous) subreddit named eyeblech that is pretty graphic/NFSW.

Hopefully there is a Libgen version of this.

I honestly couldn't tell if the GIF was lagging or if that's the actual typing speed. I give lessons to help reach double digit WPM if you're interested

Thank you for creating this!

does it violate ISP terms (like at&t)? how to make it less obvious to them?
