stv play netflix "Dark" s1e1

~3 seconds

No TV? No problem. Without a TV configured, stv opens content directly in your browser. Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Disney+ — just pip install stv and go.

🛋 Vibe-code and chill

Vibe-coding at 2am. Claude writes your code. You tell it to put on a show. It does.

Code

you: play frieren on the living room tv
claude: Playing Frieren s2e8 on Living Room. (3s)

you: bit quieter
claude: Volume → 18.

you: good night
claude: All 3 TVs off.

Already installed stv? Just tell Claude:

bash

# Option 1 — just talk (zero config)
"run stv play netflix Frieren s2e8"

# Option 2 — install the Skill for auto-trigger
clawhub install smartest-tv
# now "play Frieren", "good night", "next episode" just work mid-session

_{Also available as an MCP server (21 tools) for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and other MCP clients.}

🎯 Just type `stv`

stv home dashboard

No subcommand? You get a Now Playing card and three contextual next-actions based on your watch history — not a 30-command help dump.

bash

$ stv "play dark on netflix"     # natural language works
$ stv play "Frieren"             # auto-detects platform
$ stv next                       # continue last show
$ stv stats                      # → insights

Unknown input? You get a friendly hint, not an error.

🎨 A CLI that looks like a product

Every command renders with Catppuccin Mocha colors, semantic icons, and real visual hierarchy. Prefer another palette? Set STV_THEME=nord or STV_THEME=gruvbox.

--format json is always available when you need to pipe to jq.

✨ What it does

🎬 Play by name

bash

stv play netflix "Dark" s1e1
stv play disney "Percy Jackson" s1e1
stv play prime "The Boys" s1e1
stv play "Frieren" s2e8          # auto-detects platform

Say the name. stv finds the ID, opens the app, starts playback. Netflix and Apple TV+ resolve via HTML parsing. Disney+, Max, Prime, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, Crunchyroll, and every platform on JustWatch resolve via their API — no login, no API key. Skip the platform name and stv auto-detects where it's streaming in your region.

🔗 Cast any URL

bash

stv cast https://youtu.be/dQw4w
stv cast https://netflix.com/watch/...
stv cast https://open.spotify.com/...

Friend sends a link. Paste it. TV plays it.

🎵 Queue & party

bash

stv queue add youtube "Gangnam Style"
stv queue add spotify "Blinding Lights"

bash

stv scene movie-night   # volume 20, cinema
stv scene kids          # volume 15, Cocomelon

One command sets the vibe.
