xklb 1.12.23

xk library

lb: opinionated media library

Requires ffmpeg

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 --delete tv.db  # delete file after viewing

lt --action=ask podcasts.db  # ask to delete or not after each file

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

Searching filesystem

You can also use lb for any files:

$ lb extract -fs -f ~/d/41_8bit/

$ lb fs fs.db -p a -s mario luigi

If you want to specify more than one directory you will need to make the db file explicit:

$ lb extract --filesystem fs.db one/ two/
