fmovies-cli

Download movies from the CLI through fmovies.

Future Features

• Setup a python env
• Multithreading to download multiple movies at once
• Option to play movie from VLC instead of downloading
• More robust searching that is interactive with user
• Have fmovie mirrors incase one goes down

Known Bugs

• Searching for movie ocasionally throws an error. I suspect this has to do with hitting an ad when Selenium clicks the movie
  • Potential solution is to wrap in try/except block and keep trying until no error

Usage

Current usage: python3 fmovies.py [fmoviesUrl]

Future usage: python3 fmovies.py [options] -url [fmoviesUrl]
