Play video from url using python?

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.
