# Medios-Macina
|
|
|
|
Medios-Macina is a CLI-first media ingestion and management toolkit focused on reliably downloading, tagging, and storing media (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.
|
|
|
|
## Highlights ✅
|
|
- Flexible pipeline-based CLI: chain cmdlets with `|` and use saved selections with `@N`.
|
|
- Multi-store support: HydrusNetwork, local folders, and provider-backed stores.
|
|
- Provider integrations: YouTube, OpenLibrary/Archive.org, Soulseek, LibGen, AllDebrid, and more.
|
|
- Utility cmdlets: screenshots (Playwright), metadata extraction, merging, and automated tagging.
|
|
- MPV-friendly: integrate with MPV playback and playlists for quick ingestion.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start ⚡
|
|
1. Install Python requirements:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
# Automated setup (recommended): run the single Python setup script which installs
|
|
# all Python dependencies (from requirements.txt) and downloads Playwright browsers.
|
|
# Usage:
|
|
python ./scripts/setup.py
|
|
|
|
# Advanced options:
|
|
# - Skip dependency installation: python ./scripts/setup.py --skip-deps
|
|
# - Install only Playwright browsers: python ./scripts/setup.py --playwright-only
|
|
```
|
|
2. Copy or edit `config.conf` and set a required `temp` directory where intermediate files are written. Example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
temp="C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads"
|
|
|
|
[store=folder]
|
|
name="default"
|
|
path="C:\\Media Machina"
|
|
|
|
[store=hydrusnetwork]
|
|
NAME="home"
|
|
API="..."
|
|
URL="http://localhost:45869"
|
|
|
|
[provider=OpenLibrary]
|
|
email="user@example.com"
|
|
password="..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Start the CLI:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
cd "C:\location\to\repository\medios-machina\"
|
|
python cli.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage overview 🔧
|
|
- Pipelines: chain cmdlets with `|`, e.g., `download-media <url> | add-file -storage local`.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
## Common examples 💡
|
|
|
|
Simple download with metadata (tags and URL registration):
|
|
```bash
|
|
download-media "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" | add-file -storage local | add-url
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download a playlist item:
|
|
```bash
|
|
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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
screen-shot "https://example.com/page" | add-tag "title:Example Page,source:web" | add-file -store local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
OpenLibrary ingestion (book metadata & PDF/ebook handling is automatically enriched when `add-file` detects an OpenLibrary URL):
|
|
```bash
|
|
add-file "https://openlibrary.org/books/OLxxxxxM/Book_Title" -storage local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Search & download flow (select with `@`):
|
|
```bash
|
|
search-file -provider youtube "my favourite track"
|
|
@1
|
|
download-media [URL] | add-file -store hydrus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Providers & stores
|
|
- **HydrusNetwork**: use for database-backed media storage and advanced tagging (requires running Hydrus client/server).
|
|
- **Local folder**: copy files to a configured directory (fast and simple).
|
|
- **YouTube / yt-dlp**: robust media downloader for YouTube and many hosts.
|
|
- **OpenLibrary / Archive.org**: scripted metadata scraping and optional downloads.
|
|
- **Soulseek, LibGen, All-Debrid, Others**: provider support is modular—add or configure providers in `config.conf`.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting & tips 🛠️
|
|
- If a cmdlet complains about an unknown store, ensure the piped item has a valid local `path` or use `-store <name>` to target a configured backend.
|
|
- For Playwright screenshots, run `playwright install` after installing the package to download browser binaries.
|
|
- Use `--debug` to enable verbose logs when tracking down an error.
