bit dissapointing that it doesn't actually render video into the terminal, just launches a video player

Adding "--vo=tct" after "mpv" in the argument list in line 55 of spongebob-cli should do the trick (haven't tested it myself). https://github.com/trakBan/spongebob-cli/blob/main/spongebob-cli#L55 https://github.com/trakBan/spongebob-cli/blob/main/spongebob... edit: yep, works. You might also want to add "--quiet" to get rid of artifacts.

  Linux n00b over here... apologies for the silly question but I can't seem to make this work I enter spongebob-cli Then when it prompts me to enter an episode number, I can't seem to get it to play from within the terminal itself let's say I want to play episode 1: 1 --mpv --vo=tct --quiet Doesn't seem to work. Any help to get past this would be greatly appreciated

    Did you add them as separate strings like this? subprocess.run(["mpv", "--vo=tct", "--quiet", DirectLink]) Otherwise your terminal may be missing true-color terminal mode or the mpv in your distro doesn't have that output plugin. (You can check with "mpv --vo=help")

      If, like me, you forget where to split the command and arguments, shlex.split in the standard library can split the raw string for you.

        Rule of thumb is every space, except ones you'd normally put between quotes. so e.g. foo quix-quiz "bar baz" turns into ["foo", "quix-quiz", "bar baz"] Though do note that you don't get an extra set of quotes on "bar baz" which is slightly confusing, but makes sense once you think about it a bit.

    You need to edit spongebob-cli to add the arguments to the code where it calls mpv. It sounds like you're just running it and providing the arguments to its prompt.

Honestly, a terminal based search/browse with media player video would be my ideal replacement for youtube and similar

    I do. I write my own scripts that use it too.

I remember watching the soccer world cup like that years ago, just connecting with netcat. It received the "video" 5 seconds earlier than my TV.
