When testing on Mac 12.1 getting the following error:

grep: invalid option -- P

After some research it appears that the version of grep on OSX does not supprt the -P method but does accept the -E flag for using regex. The comment that pointed me in the right direction.

I noticed in your code that you actually use -E on line 4 but then use -P on line 5 to do the same thing. If you update line 5 to use -E it should work with both linux and mac.


I created a fork of your project, notflix-osx, with the above change as well as a few other updates.

  • Use YTS instead of 1337x. I found that the results were better and more relevant.
  • Updated scraping logic to work with YTS and to default to 1080p
  • Default to use VLC
  • Default 500 connections

Thanks for putting together the original script. I had a similar idea the other day while using peerflix and found your project in my research.
