cmdia 1.0.0

Command Line Media Browser

cmdia - Command Line Media Browser

cmdia is a dead simple CLI media browser for local video files. It is designed for the following situation:

• You have very limited input methods (no mouse and no full keyboard, only for example a TV remote)
• All of your files are organized in directories
• You don't need any features (nice UI, search, metadata, images, online connectivity, none of all that)

What it actually does:

• Navigate files with Up/Down arrows
• Play video files with Enter (mpv by default)
• Remembers where you left off and what you already watched

Installation

Works on Linux, maybe works on macOS, probably doesn't work on Windows. Needs python3.

$ pip install cmdia

Usage

$ cmdia

• Up/Down arrows: Navigation
• Enter: Enter directory or play file
• Esc: Go to parent directory
• q: Quit

To change the media player used (default mpv), edit the following file (gets created on first startup):

$ ~/.config/cmdia/config.yaml

The media_player section is a list of the media player command and its arguments. For example:

media_player:
- "vlc"
- "--fullscreen"
- "--loop"
