navig-media-core

The shared media engine NAVIG's media packages run on — media types and the generator registry, the generation service, the refs library, the variant store, the provider key catalog, and the ffmpeg primitives (audio edit, video edit, frames, fx). A library: no commands of its own, runs without navig.

A navig library — a shared engine package; install it as a dependency, no commands of its own · v0.1.0 · not on PyPI yet (install from source below)

Install

pip install "git+https://github.com/navig-run/plugins#subdirectory=navig-media-core"

It is a library, not a program: there is nothing to run — navig and the packages that use it pull it in as a dependency.

The shared media engine NAVIG's media packages run on — extracted from navig-generate so generate, audio, text and pipeline share one copy instead of reaching into a sibling plugin.

A library: no commands of its own, no navig dependency at import time, and nothing to configure — you install it because something else needs it (navig, navig-generate, navig-audio, navig-pipeline).

What lives here

What stayed in navig-generate: the image/video/audio generator clients, beats, tonality, the pixel pipeline (processing), the deck routes and the CLI. The generation service reaches the generator clients through function-local imports, so this package never imports navig_generate at import time — navig-generate depends on this package, not the other way round.

Public paths did not change

navig.media.types, navig.media.generation_service, navig.media.audio_edit, navig.store.generated_media, navig.tools.media_providers — every public import path is still exactly what it was; the core shims now alias the modules here instead of their old navig_generate homes. Existing tests that patch those modules by dotted path keep patching the same (single) module object.

Install

Normally you never install it directly — pip install navig or pip install navig-generate pulls it in. On its own:

pip install navig-media-core
