Medios-Macina

Medios-Macina is a CLI media manager and toolkit focused on downloading, tagging, and media storage (audio, video, images, and text) from a variety of providers and sources. It is designed around a compact, pipeable command language ("cmdlets") so complex workflows can be composed simply and repeatably.

Features

Flexible syntax structure: chain commands with | and select options from tables with @N.
Multiple file stores: HYDRUSNETWORK, FOLDER
Provider plugin integration: YOUTUBE, OPENLIBRARY/ARCHIVE.ORG, SOULSEEK, LIBGEN, ALLDEBRID, TELEGRAM, BANDCAMP
Module Mixing: Playwright, yt-dlp, aioslsk, telethon,typer
MPV Manager: Play audio, video, and even images in a custom designed MPV with trimming, screenshotting, and more built right in!

Usage overview 🔧

Pipelines: chain cmdlets with |, e.g., download-media <url> | add-file -storage local.
- From your shell you can pass a fully-quoted pipeline so the shell doesn't interpret | as a pipe: e.g. mm "download-media <url> | add-file -storage local"
- Format selection (non-interactive): When download-media shows multiple formats, you can select one non-interactively by re-running the pipeline and specifying the format:
  - Use a format id: `mm "download-media '' -query 'format:243' -path 'C://path' "
  - Or use the listed index (1-based): mm "download-media '<url>' -query 'format:7' " Note: The @Nselection syntax works in the interactive REPL, but shells like PowerShell treat@specially — prefer-query 'format:N'` when running a quoted pipeline from your shell.
Selections: search cmdlets populate a selectable ResultTable; refer to entries with @<index>.
Tagging & metadata: add-tag mutates piped results (temporary path items) or writes to a configured store when -store is provided.

Built-in image viewer

MPV automatically detects still-image files and flips into an image viewer
Arrow keys, WASD, or h/j/k/l pan the image (recently tuned to ±0.05 steps), Shift+arrow offers finer nudges, =/- zoom quickly (~45% per press), +/_ zoom slowly, and 0 resets zoom/pan back to default.
Hit f while an image is active to take a screenshot (uses MPV's screenshot pipeline) and get an OSD confirmation.
When MPV loads a video again, the script restores the regular video shortcuts automatically.

Common examples 💡

Simple download with metadata (tags and URL registration):

download-media "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" | add-file -storage local

Download a playlist item:

download-media "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxxxxx" -item 2 | add-file -storage local | add-url

Take a website screenshot, tag it, and store locally:

screen-shot "https://example.com/page" | add-tag "title:Example Page,source:web" -path "c://"

OpenLibrary ingestion (book metadata & PDF/ebook handling is automatically enriched when add-file detects an OpenLibrary URL):

download-file "https://openlibrary.org/books/OLxxxxxM/Book_Title" | add-file -storage local

Search your library:

search-store "ext:mp3"
