    From the README

    Terminal interface to find, download, and stream movies, TV shows, and live TV using local media players.

    Requires at least one media player for streaming:

    Poster graphics: Image rendering requires a graphics capable terminal (Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, or iTerm2). Standard terminals display clean text layouts automatically.

    Optional for MovieBox downloads: yt-dlp and ffmpeg are required only for downloading DASH streams from the MovieBox provider. All other providers download directly with the built in engine.
