FluxMedia

A premium, cross-platform media portal and processing toolkit.

PyPI Version Supported Python Versions License Downloads Code Style

FluxMedia is a production-ready media manager, automated downloader, and local streaming gateway wrapped in a responsive terminal application and web interface.

📢 Latest Release: v1.6.54

  • Watch Party Auto-Play Fixed: Watch Party host now forces playback immediately when starting a session, fixing an issue where streams would remain paused. If a browser blocks automatic playback, it now displays a prominent "Tap to Start" overlay.
  • Watch Party Host Waiting Flow: The CLI now properly waits and displays a live-updating table of connected devices for the host to review before proceeding to the device selection stage.
  • Full Watch Party in Share Portal: Connected devices now appear in a live panel (FAB or tab mode) with green pulsing dots for SYNCED vs grey for WATCHING. The CLI host picks which devices to sync, and the browser clients automatically seek and play/pause in real time.
  • Audio + Video Sync: Both audio and video files are now properly synchronized across devices — the portal auto-detects media_type and applies sync to the correct player.
  • Sync Lock Modes: Strict (full lock) or Loose (volume/fullscreen allowed) — user-configurable in Settings.
  • Custom Device Names: Each device auto-detects its name (iPhone, Android, Mac...) and lets users override it in Settings > Watch Party.
  • Mid-session Device Management: Use the D command in the Watch Party CLI control loop to add or remove devices from sync without stopping the session.

🌟 Key Features

  • Universal Extraction Core: Seamlessly download high-quality videos, playlists, audio streams, channel collections, and subtitles powered by a robust wrapper around yt-dlp.
  • Sync Play (Watch Party) [Beta]: Synchronize media playback across all connected devices on your local network, perfect for hosting local watch parties.
  • FluxMedia Web UI: A beautiful, responsive React-based web dashboard to remotely control your downloads, manage files, and host Watch Parties directly from your browser.
  • Built-in LAN Sharing Gateway: Share downloaded files instantly to any device on your local network using a built-in password-protected HTTP server with QR code access.
  • Instagram Profile Downloader [Beta]: Batch download media directly from Instagram profiles with our new custom extraction module.
  • Advanced Post-Processing: Automatically extract audio (MP3/M4A/FLAC), merge separate audio/video formats, inject descriptions and tags, and embed album artwork via FFmpeg.
  • Universal OS Support: The one-liner install.sh script automatically resolves dependencies across macOS (brew), Android Termux (pkg), and virtually all Linux package managers (apt, pacman, dnf, apk, zypper, xbps).
