I've been using mov-cli and lobster to watch movies and series from the command line, I installed their lastest versions but they don't seem to be working anymore. I really liked their simplicity of typing the title of a movie or series and start watching on mpv. Is there any other software that works in the same way?

Before I discovered VLC (some 20 years ago) I used to use mplayer. Not sure if it’s still being maintained though. It could display video using text output, frambuffer as well as via an x window.

My bad for asumming that most subscribers know what mov-cli and lobster do. What I'm asking for is a program that takes the title of a movie or series as an input from the command line and start scrapping movie sites and when the movie or series is found it starts streaming it to mpv.

I had no clue that was a thing. Sorry.
