CLI tool for finding and playing movies

CLI tool for finding a movie and playing it (in VLC)

It's expected that you store your local movies under the XDG_VIDEOS_DIR (e.g. ~/Videos on Linux).
Storing a movie in a child directory is not a problem due to the fact that the tool utilizes recursive searching.

Works only on Linux/GNU and UNIX platforms

Installing the program (make sure you have rust installed - cargo):

./install.sh  # run the script in the root directory of the project

Running the program (make sure you have vlc installed or modify the command to suit your needs #Line50:main.rs):

find-movie-cli-tool -m "Your Movie Here" # do not forget "" when passing the movie as an argument

Different flags:

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help             Print help information
    -m, --movie <MOVIE>    Name of the movie you want to find and watch
    -p, --path <PATH>      If you want to add a custom path which is outside your default Videos
                           directory [default: /home/<user>/Videos]
