What happens:

  1. Shows movie details

  2. Lists available torrents

  3. Auto-selects the best option (you can override)

  4. Launches magnet or downloads .torrent


🧭 Interactive mode (recommended for exploration)

cinecli interactive
  • Search → select movie → choose torrent

  • Manual selection by design (safe & explicit)


⚙️ How magnet launching works

CineCLI delegates magnet handling to your OS.

That means:

  • Whatever torrent client is registered (qBittorrent, Transmission, etc.)

  • CineCLI will launch it directly

Example (Linux):

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/magnet
