## What it is
mov-cli is a Python CLI tool that lets users search for and stream movies and TV shows directly from the terminal, using a plugin system to scrape streaming sources. The project is officially unmaintained, though some plugins may still work.

## Use cases
- watch movies from the terminal
- stream tv shows without a browser
- search and play media via command line
- extend streaming sources with plugins
- watch content on linux or windows from a tui

## When to choose
- you want a terminal-based media streaming experience
- you need a plugin-extensible scraping framework for streaming sources
- you're comfortable with a tool that no longer receives maintenance

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and support
- you want a legal, licensed streaming service
- you need a GUI media player
- you rely on long-term stability for production use

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: cli, web-scraping, video-processing
- domain: media, developer-tools
- platform: windows, python, cli
