Cthulhu

Cthulhu is a simple python CLI application that facilitates the streaming of torrents directly from various sources. It uses peerflix to stream video from magnet links directly.

Cthulhu is heavily inspired by Bugswriter's notflix, which was written using shell scripting. All in all, I wrote this program mainly for fun and practice.

Feel free to submit issues and feature requests.

Notable Features (so far)

• Runs directly from the terminal
• macOS and BSD support (theoretical, needs testing)
• multiple source options (currently: 1337x, nyaa)
• Ability to list multiple files in a torrent (useful for binging TV shows)
• Filtering out unwanted results by default, such as application files and pornogrophy

Requirements

• mpv or vlc
• requests - A python library for making http requests. pip3 install requests
• lxml - A python library for parsing XML/HTML. pip3 install lxml
• peerflix - A tool to stream torrents. npm install -g peerflix

Installation for Linux/macOS

cURL

Make sure that /usr/local/bin exists with the proper permissions. If not, then sudo mkdir -p -m 775 /usr/local/bin

cURL cthulhu to your $PATH and give execute permissions.

sudo curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trianglecirclexyz/cthulhu/main/cthulhu" -o /usr/local/bin/cthulhu
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cthulhu

• To update, just do curl again, no need to chmod anymore.
• To uninstall, remove cthulhu from your $PATH, for example sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/cthulhu.
