The GitHub repository named "library" is a media toolkit designed for managing and curating extensive media libraries, encompassing both local files and online video playlists, such as those from YouTube. It is primarily recommended for Linux users but also supports Windows and Mac OS, with installation via the command `pip install xklb`. The toolkit requires dependencies like `ffmpeg` and is optimized for use with tools such as `mpv`, `fd-find`, and `fish`.
Key features include local media management, which allows users to extract metadata and manage playback options, and online media management, enabling the downloading of metadata from YouTube playlists and direct media access. Users can create and manage multiple databases for various media types, merge databases, and deduplicate entries. Playback control features allow for commands to watch, listen, pause, stop, and seek through media files. Additionally, the toolkit offers tab management for organizing browser tabs and data analysis capabilities for exploratory data analysis (EDA) on media databases.
Examples of usage include adding local media with `library fsadd`, watching online media with `library watch`, and updating online media with `library tube-update`. The toolkit also provides a variety of subcommands for tasks like merging folders and checking media integrity, and it supports integration with other tools to enhance its media management capabilities. For further details, users can consult the repository's README.

2 commentsThis is way nicer than what I'm currently doing.
While I'm at it, forgive me for treating this like a support thread, but I set up an idle mpv window with a socket, and expected that the `--mpv-socket` option would allow me to send videos to the player instance tied to that socket, but that's not how it's working. (It opens a new window instead.) Is this as expected? Is there a way to set up what I'm trying to do some other way? Videos come in all shapes and sizes, and with Wayland not able to remember previous window positions, it's currently completely unworkable to play videos and do work at the same time.
