Alenia Fuse

Esta es la versión mejorada de Alenia Porter — reescrita completamente en Python puro, con una API limpia, soporte multiplataforma y publicación en PyPI. Alenia Fuse se llamaba anteriormente Alenia-Porter. El proyecto fue rebrandeado en la versión 2.0; las instalaciones nuevas usan el paquete alenia-fuse y el comando fuse.

Professional multimedia toolkit — Python library + interactive CLI

Alenia Fuse converts, edits, compresses, and inspects audio, video, and images. It downloads a verified platform FFmpeg asset on first use when FFmpeg is not already available in the system PATH.

Quick start

pip install alenia-fuse

Python API

from fuse import Video, Audio, Image, Media

# Convert video
result = Video("movie.mp4").convert("webm").output("movie.webm").run()
print(result.success, result.elapsed_seconds)

# Convert audio
Audio("song.wav").convert("flac").output("song.flac").run()

# Convert image
Image("photo.png").convert("webp").output("photo.webp").run()

# Inspect file
info = Media.inspect("movie.mp4")
print(info.duration, info.streams)

run() returns an OperationResult with:

Field	Type	Description
success	bool	Whether the operation succeeded
operation	str	Operation name
input_path	Path	Input file
output_path	Path	Output file
media	Media	Inspected output (FFprobe result)
elapsed_seconds	float	Wall-clock duration
warnings	list[str]	Non-fatal warnings
error	str | None	Error message if failed

The API is silent — no print() calls, no prompts. Errors are raised as exceptions or returned in OperationResult.

Python API ────────────┘

• CLI and API share the same core. No duplicated logic.
• Capability Engine queries the bundled FFmpeg to determine what conversions are actually possible for a given input file.
• Validator checks inputs before and outputs after every operation.
