KickFlix

A command-line based, minimal torrent streaming client made using Python and Webtorrent-cli.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

It uses webtorrent-cli to stream/download torrents (necessary)

Download Nodejs from here, install the package and then run this command in terminal

npm install webtorrent-cli -g

ALso, if you want to stream torrents you'll need VLC Media Player (maybe the reason why you're using this script) (optional, downloaing will work without VLC)

Download VLC from here

Usage

To stream a torrent directly from command line (streams the torrent at top in search results)

python3 KickFlix.py -s "torrent"

Downloading a torrent from command line (downloads the torrent at top in search results)

python3 KickFlix.py -d "torrent"

Using the script to search torrents and then to stream/download selected torrent

python3 KickFlix.py
