cthulhu's Introduction

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.

cthulhu's Issues

Add request checking

Module requests not include in standard library. May be checking will be helpful.

try:
    import requests
except ImportError:
    print('error: requests is not installed (hint: pip install requests)')
    exit()

Search results differ with a new version of `cthulhu`, despite using the same source

See this example where I could find Better Call Saul S06E01 with an older version of cthulhu, but it would fail when entering the ID, and after update S06E01 is not found anymore:

My ~/.local/bin/cthulhu is a symbolic link to the executable in the git folder.

Expand to other torrent sources

Thanks for this tool, I was actively looking for exactly that some weeks ago, glad to find it on r/commandline today!

In Stremio, a GUI application that does similar things, Torrentio is a major source for torrents and seems to simply be the best for most movies or TV shows in terms of seeds and leechers, at least for 4K. Would it be feasible to expand cthulhu so that it can fetch magnets from Torrentio too (and possibly others in the future)?

MPV error on Launch

I am on MacOS and have had mpv installed and working for a long time.

When I run cthulhu, it spits out an error indicating I do not have mpv installed.

note: In actual fact I have mpv and a MacOS fork of mpv that basically makes mpv a gui app on a mac. Both work perfectly.

http://1337x.wtf is down

In this notflix issue they're pointing the same problem.

The new domain is https://1337x.to

Allow selecting files in torrent, useful for TV shows

Currently cthulhu automatically uses peerflix -a, which downloads all files. It is a problem for TV shows whose episodes are all bundled into the same torrent. peerflix -l seems to cover exactly that case (although it doesn't allow multi-selection, unfortunately), and same with webtorrent -s (a little bit less convenient). Wouldn't it make sense to make an option (and perhaps use -a as default) so that users can use -l/-s instead and decide which episode to stream when several are bundled together?

Ideally there could be a prompt asking whether to download all files or just one after a torrent has been selected, because the user can't know in advance which torrents would be available. Specifying the option when executing cthulhu would skip that prompt.
