it also has a robust Lua scripting interface. I made a tool in Golang and Lua that allows Mpv to treat torrent files and magnet links as if they were http links. You can then stream a torrent directly.

People also don't realize that mpv not only has the ability to stream youtube videos but you can also search youtube on the CLI using mpv `mpv ytdl://ytsearch:query`

it can also play videos directly in the terminal using ascii, sixel or kitty image protocol (which is by far the highest quality)
