xklb 1.11.34

xk media library

lb: opinionated media library

Requires ffmpeg, mpv

!!! You should be warned that the default action after watching a video is to trash it. Restore via your trash can. Use --keep to ask y/n.

Install

pip install xklb

Step 1. Extract Metadata

lb-extract tv.db ./video/folder/

lb-extract --audio podcasts.db ./your/music/or/podcasts/folder/

Step 2. Watch / Listen

wt tv.db

lt podcasts.db

Repeat!

Implementing repeat / auto-play is left to the end user. I recommend something like this if you use fish shell:

function repeat
    while $argv
        and :
    end
end

repeat lt audio.db

or

function repeatn --description 'repeatn <count> <command>'
    for i in (seq 1 $argv[1])
        eval $argv[2..-1]
    end
end

repeat 5 lt audio.db

Watch longest videos

wt tv.db --sort 'duration desc'

Watch specific video series in order

wt tv.db --search 'title of series' --play-in-order

There are multiple strictness levels of --play-in-order. If things aren't playing in order try adding more Os:

wt tv.db --search 'title of series' -O    # default
wt tv.db --search 'title of series' -OO   # slower, more complex algorithm
wt tv.db --search 'title of series' -OOO  # most strict

I usually use the following:

lt -cast -s '  ost'      # for listening to OSTs on my chromecast groups
wt -u priority -w sub=0  # for exercising and watching YouTube
wt -u duration --print -s 'video title'  # when I want to check if I've downloaded something before
