[!Note] v4 is constantly changing so be sure to keep the tool and your plugins up to date. Also, I would advise not using it as a library yet as the API still has many breaking changes.
mov-cli is a command line tool with plugin support that streamlines the process of streaming media from the comfort of your terminal; so you can show off to your friends the superiority of the command line. 💪 The tool is sort of a framework that handles metadata, configuration and scraping of the media to be streamed in your media player of choice.
mov-cli is not a piracy tool; in fact, we encourage the opposite through the existence of our plugins mov-cli-files and mov-cli-jellyplex. 🫵 You obtain the media. You pick the plugins.
[!TIP] For in-depth installation instructions hit the wiki.
To get running these are all the prerequisites you'll need.
With the prerequisites installed, mov-cli can be installed via the pip command on all platforms with Python version 3.8 or above.
pip install mov-cli -U

mov-cli comes packaged with a CLI interface via the mov-cli command you can use in your respective terminal.
[!NOTE] You may notice mov-cli doesn't ship with any scrapers (or previously known as providers) by default, this is because v4 is plugin-based and scrapers are now part of plugins that must be chosen to be installed. Find out how to do so at the wiki.
