Play video from url using python?

Question

These didn't work for me How to to play videos from the web using Opencv and python and Is it possible to stream video from https:// (e.g. YouTube) into python with OpenCV? . My program returns a link which I want to play from cli itself (preferably a module and not an executable)

Code:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

anime_name = 'one piece'.replace(' ', '%20')
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get('https://gogoanime.fi//search.html?keyword=' + anime_name).text, 'html.parser')
count = 0
number = 1
episode_number = 102
all_url = []
for k, i in enumerate(soup.find_all('a')):
    if str(i.get('href')).startswith('/category') and k % 2 == 0:#it returns duplicate so using this to remove it
        count += 1
        print('[' + str(count) + ']', str(i.get('href'))[10:].replace('-', ' '))
        all_url.append('https://gogoanime.fi//' + str(i.get('href')))
print(f'https://gogoanime.fi//{all_url[number-1][31:]}-episode-{episode_number}')

The last line returns the link it is not a file it streams the video in the browser I want to play that url using python. Tried using vlc normally but for some reason it will get stuck. Windows 7 python 3.8.8 also don't mind the number of backslash in the url the website actually made it that way.

What part of your code actually plays the video? Are you asking about getting the correct URL or about playing the video from the URL? — Rotem, Feb 25 '22 at 22:01
What about the code that plays the video? Can you edit your post? Add code part like in [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66082670/python-vlc-only-works-in-python-shell). — Rotem, Feb 26 '22 at 09:00
I don't have any code to play video but i tried every code (with appropriate edits) from the first and second link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63203414/how-to-to-play-videos-from-the-web-using-opencv-and-python and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37555195/is-it-possible-to-stream-video-from-https-e-g-youtube-into-python-with-ope — Devil Ishere, Feb 26 '22 at 09:26
We may use a loop with OpenCV, but it plays only the video without the audio, and it is not going to be smooth playing like video player. Why not using `vlc.MediaPlayer`? — Rotem, Feb 26 '22 at 10:16
Just in case you want to user OpenCV, add the code (with appropriate edits) to your post. — Rotem, Feb 26 '22 at 10:19
