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: v1.7.10

  • Installer Silent Exit on Sub-Menu Selection: Fixed a critical bug in install.sh where selecting any submenu option other than the first (such as "Uninstall") would cause the entire script to instantly exit and return to the prompt. This occurred due to the show_menu function returning non-zero exit codes for downstream options while set -e was active.
  • Arch Linux Installer: Fixed the package name for pipx (python-pipx) and added -Sy to sync databases before downloading during the pacman dependency installation step on Arch Linux.

🌟 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).
