By "on the command line" you mean that you type a command, it starts an X server, and starts MPV with the movie? I mean, it should be possible to just write a script for that. Scripting isn't really my forté though so I couldn't tell you exactly.

no, he reads the 1's and 0's in real time. At least that's my interpretation of OP
Oh, in that case all OP needs is cat.

What mov-cli and lobster do is scrapping movie sites and start playing the movie you just typed by streaming.
Before I discovered VLC (some 20 years ago) I used to use mplayer. Not sure if it’s still being maintained though. It could display video using text output, frambuffer as well as via an x window.
My bad for asumming that most subscribers know what mov-cli and lobster do. What I'm asking for is a program that takes the title of a movie or series as an input from the command line and start scrapping movie sites and when the movie or series is found it starts streaming it to mpv.
I had no clue that was a thing. Sorry.
All I see is red head
