Python API Usage

Basic Usage

import mediallm

# Initialize MediaLLM
ml = mediallm.MediaLLM()

# Generate FFmpeg commands from natural language
commands = ml.generate_command("convert video.mp4 to high-quality MP3")
print("Generated commands:", commands)

# Scan workspace for media files
workspace = ml.scan_workspace()
print(f"Found {len(workspace.get('videos', []))} videos")

Advanced Usage

import mediallm

# Scan directory for media files
workspace = mediallm.discover_media()
print(f"Found {len(workspace.get('videos', []))} videos")

# Initialize with custom settings
ml = mediallm.MediaLLM(
    workspace=workspace,
    model_name="llama3.1:latest", 
    ollama_host="http://localhost:11434",
    timeout=120
)

# Generate commands from natural language
commands = ml.generate_command("compress large_video.mp4 to 720p")
print("Commands:", commands)

Using Data Models

import mediallm
from pathlib import Path

# Create MediaIntent objects directly
intent = mediallm.MediaIntent(
    action=mediallm.Action.convert,
    inputs=[Path("input.mp4")],
    video_codec="libx264",
    audio_codec="aac"
)

# Available actions
for action in mediallm.Action:
    print(f"- {action.value}")
