> I made a tool in Golang and Lua that allows Mpv to treat torrent files and magnet links as if they were http links. You can then stream a torrent directly.
Increíble. Consider putting this up somewhere folks can find it.-

Beats Star Wars over telnet :)

There are lua hooks for play/pause/stop which is great for dimming room lights when the video starts.

it's crazy what you can do with its plugin scripts. MPV Android also supports them.
I wrote one which turns off keyboard backlight and maxes brightness for HDR.
Also I'm using it to stream from Gerbera and to sync progress seamlessly between phone and PC.
People also don't realize that mpv not only has the ability to stream youtube videos but you can also search youtube on the CLI using mpv `mpv ytdl://ytsearch:query`
it can also play videos directly in the terminal using ascii, sixel or kitty image protocol (which is by far the highest quality)
