katflix
is a command-line application to search videos from kickasstorrents and watch them instantly thanks to peerflix.
It is similar to torrentflix. Main differences are:
- only search torrents from kickasstorrents
- allows to search subtitles in multiples languages at once
- explicitly search for subtitles instead of trying to get the correct one automatically
- choose where to search subtitles: opensubtitles or addic7ed
- omxplayer keyboard shortcuts work with katflix (thanks to forked version of peerflix)
Installation
katflix
is a node cli app. After installing node and npm, install katflix globally on your system:
sudo npm install -g katflix
Usage
Start using katflix with the katflix
command!
All the help you need is visible with katflix --help
:
Search videos from kickasstorrents, watch them directly thanks to peerflix.
Usage: katflix [QUERY] [OPTIONS] [-- PEERFLIX OPTIONS]
QUERY is your search terms to find the torrents you want.
If no query is given, katflix will ask when starting.
Options:
-h, --help: show this message
-v, --version: show katflix's version
-l, --language: set desired subtitles language to search (defaults to 'eng')
you can pass this option multiple times
-s, --series: activate series mode
subtitles will be searched on addic7ed instead of opensubtitles
You can pass options to the peerflix binary internally used after --.
Check out the peerflix github page for more details on possible options.
Examples:
`katflix -- --vlc` # autoplay the video in vlc
`katflix Drive` # directly list 'Drive' results
`katflix --language spa` # search spanish subtitles only
`katflix -l fre -l eng` # search english and french subtitles only
`katflix "Daredevil S01E01" --series --language fre` # search for Daredevil
first episode with french subtitles from addic7ed
`katflix -- --omx -- -o local` # autoplay in omx with local audio
Protips
As katflix allows you to pass all the options you want to peerflix without enforcing any defaults, it can be cumbersome to type the command. Don't forget about aliases!
For example, on my raspberry pi, I have a play
alias:
alias play="katflix --language fre --language eng -- -q --omx"
I can then type play Drive
in order to search for Drive torrents, french and english subtitles, and play them directly in omxplayer.
