flix-cli (Windows Version)

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 PowerShell 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 utilities available in Windows, including PowerShell and fzf for interactive selection.

Warning

• Use a VPN: This script retrieves torrents from 1337x, which is 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

• Node.js and npm
• webtorrent-cli
• mpv Media Player
• fzf

Installation

Using the Setup Script

1. Install scoop if you don't have it, from here. If you do, then skip this.

2. Install git with scoop

   scoop install git
   

3. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/d4r1us-drk/flix-cli_win.git
   cd flix-cli_win
   

4. Run the setup script to install dependencies and configure the script:

   .\setup.ps1
   

The setup script will:

• Install required dependencies using Scoop if they are not already installed.
• Install webtorrent-cli globally using npm.
• Install the flix-cli script to a user directory ($HOME\AppData\Local\flix-cli\bin).
• Add the installation directory to your PATH.

Restart your terminal to apply the updated PATH.

Usage

To search for a movie, use the following command:

flix-cli.ps1 <search>

Alternatively, you can enter the program to get a search prompt by simply running:

flix-cli.ps1

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.

After selecting a torrent, you can choose whether to stream it using mpv or download it to a specified directory.

Uninstallation

To uninstall flix-cli, run the setup script with the -Uninstall flag:

.\setup.ps1 -Uninstall

The uninstallation process will:

• Remove the flix-cli installation directory.
• Remove the installation directory from your PATH.

Restart your terminal to apply the updated PATH.
