# mehflix - video streaming to your video player without leaving your terminal.
_mf_ (pronounced _meɪflɪkz_) is a terminal utility to stream multimedia content directly to your video player. It finds its content from torrent indexers, turns the torrent into a filestream and pipes its contents to a compatible player.
## Usage
### Basic usage
mehflix can be run both as a standalone GUI application and from the terminal, if no arguments are provided when launching the app a GUI will spawn.
If you wanted to stream the best result available (based on the amount of seeders) there are no extra parameters needed, just do `mf ` substituting `` by your query, for example, if you want to search for the movie Big Buck Bunny:
```
mf big buck bunny
```
By default `mf` only searches for anime content, to also search for other type of content try using the `-g` flag, like so:
```bash
mf -g big buck bunny
```
### Screenshots
### Advanced usage
To choose which result to stream simply add `-s` as a parameter:
```
mf -s big buck bunny
```
In a similar fashion you can choose how many results you want to see with the `-n` parameter:
```
mf -s -n 10 big buck bunny
```
You can also always see a list of all available options and a brief description of their purpose with the `--help` command.
## Installation
Precompiled binaries are available for windows, mac and linux, just head to the [releases](https://github.com/yonson2/mf/releases) page and download the one that suits your platform.
