mf

README

mehflix - video streaming to your video player without leaving your terminal.

mf (pronounced meɪflɪkz) is a terminal utility to stream multimedia content directly to your video player. It finds its content from torrent indexers, turns the torrent into a filestream and pipes its contents to a compatible player.

Usage

Basic usage

mehflix can be run both as a standalone GUI application and from the terminal, if no arguments are provided when launching the app a GUI will spawn.

If you wanted to stream the best result available (based on the amount of seeders) there are no extra parameters needed, just do mf <name> substituting <name> by your query, for example, if you want to search for the movie Big Buck Bunny:

mf big buck bunny

By default mf only searches for anime content, to also search for other type of content try using the -g flag, like so:

mf -g big buck bunny

Screenshots

Advanced usage

To choose which result to stream simply add -s as a parameter:

mf -s big buck bunny

In a similar fashion you can choose how many results you want to see with the -n parameter:

mf -s -n 10 big buck bunny

You can also always see a list of all available options and a brief description of their purpose with the --help command.
