echo -e "hello\nworld" | quickmedia stdin
tabbed -c -k quickmedia launcher -e
```
## Installation
If you are running arch linux then you can install QuickMedia from aur: [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickmedia-git/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickmedia-git/), otherwise you will need to first install [sibs](https://git.dec05eba.com/sibs/) and then run `./install.sh` as root.\
`tar` and curl needs to be installed to run the `install.sh` script.\
Installing `lld` (the LLVM linker) can improve compile times.\
There is also an unofficial ebuild for gentoo users. On gentoo you can install QuickMedia by running these commands:
```bash
eselect repository add overlay-from-plan9 git https://gitea.plan9.rocks/9/overlay-from-plan9
emerge --sync overlay-from-plan9
emerge -av quickmedia
```
## Dependencies
### Libraries
`libglvnd (LibGL.so)`, `libx11`, `libxrandr`, `libmpv`
### Executables
`curl`
### Fonts
`noto-fonts` (when `use_system_fonts` config is not set to `true`)
### Optional
`noto-fonts-cjk` needs to be installed to view chinese, japanese and korean characters (when `use_system_fonts` config is not set to `true`).\
`yt-dlp/youtube-dl` needs to be installed to download soundcloud music, fallback for youtube (for example for age restricted videos) or to play/download xxx videos.\
`notify-send` (which is part of `libnotify`) needs to be installed to show notifications (on Linux and other systems that uses d-bus notification system).\
[automedia](https://git.dec05eba.com/AutoMedia/) needs to be installed when tracking anime/manga with `Ctrl + T`.\
`waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan` needs to be installed when using the `--upscale-images` or `--upscale-images-always` option.\
`xdg-utils` which provides `xdg-open` needs to be installed when downloading torrents with `nyaa.si` plugin.\
`ffmpeg (and ffprobe which is included in ffmpeg)` needs to be installed to display webp thumbnails, to upload videos with thumbnails on matrix or to merge video and audio when downloading youtube videos.\
`fc-match` (which is part of `fontconfig`) needs to be installed when `use_system_fonts` config is set to `true`.\
`source-highlight` needs to be installed for syntax highlighting in matrix codeblocks.\
`wget` needs to be installed for xxx plugins.
## Matrix
QuickMedia does currently not support encryption in matrix. If you want encryption then you can use [pantalaimon](https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon/). Note that pantalaimon can be much much slower than quickmedia connecting directly to the homeserver.\
Note that there might be some issues with pantalaimon that you wont have when not using pantalaimon.\
It's not recommended to run QuickMedia with matrix and element on the same account at the same time as read markers behave differently in the different clients so messages wont be properly marked as read.

## Matrix gpg encryption
Matrix gpg email should use the matrix user id, but in email format. For example: @dec05eba:matrix.org should be created with a gpg with the email dec05eba@matrix.org.
## Config
Config is loaded from `~/.config/quickmedia/config.json` if it exists. See [example-config.json](https://git.dec05eba.com/QuickMedia/plain/example-config.json) for an example config. All fields in the config file are optional. If you have installed quickmedia then you can copy `/usr/share/quickmedia/example-config.json` to `~/.config/quickmedia/config.json` and use that as a base for your personal config file.\
If `use_system_mpv_config` is set to `true` then your systems mpv config in `~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf` and plugins will be used.
## Theme
Theme is loaded from `~/.config/quickmedia/themes/<theme-name>.json` if it exists or from `/usr/share/quickmedia/themes`. Theme name is set in `~/.config/quickmedia/config.json` under the variable `theme`.\
Default themes available: `default, dark, light, nord`.\
See [default.json](https://git.dec05eba.com/QuickMedia/plain/themes/default.json) for an example theme.\
The `default` theme is used by default.
## <a id="local-manga"></a>Local manga
`local_manga.directory` needs to be set in `~/.config/quickmedia/config.json` to a directory with all your manga.\
The directory layout is expected to be like this:
```
Manga 1
Chapter 1
1.png
2.png
Chapter 2
1.png
2.png
Manga 2
Chapter 1
1.png
2.png
Chapter 2
1.png
2.png
```
Note that the manga name and chapter names can be anything you want, but the image names need to be a number (with `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, or `.png` extension).\
It's ok to use the same directory for local manga and local anime.
## <a id="local-anime"></a>Local anime
`local_anime.directory` needs to be set in `~/.config/quickmedia/config.json` to a directory with all your anime.\
The directory layout is expected to be like this:
```
Anime 1 - Episode 1.mkv
Anime 1 - Episode 2.mkv
Anime 2
Episode 1.mkv
Episode 2.mkv
Anime 3
Season 1
Episode 1.mkv
Episode 2.mkv
Season 2
Episode 1.mkv
Episode 2.mkv
```
Note that the episode names can be anything you want.\
Local anime always uses your system mpv config.\
It's ok to use the same directory for local manga and local anime.
## Environment variables
If `xdg-open` is not installed then the `BROWSER` environment variable is used to open links in a browser.\
Set `QM_PHONE_FACTOR=1` to disable the room list side panel in matrix.
## UI scaling
Set `GDK_SCALE` environment variable or add `Xft.dpi` to `$HOME/.Xresources`. For example a value of 96 for the `Xft.dpi` means 1.0 scaling and 144 (96*1.5) means 1.5 scaling.\
Note that at the moment, images do also not scale above their original size.\
Scaling can also be set in `~/.config/quickmedia/config.json`, which will override `GDK_SCALE` and `$HOME/.Xresources` `Xft.dpi`.
## Storage
Config data, including manga progress is stored under `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/quickmedia` or `~/.config/quickmedia`.\
Cache is stored under `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/quickmedia` or `~/.cache/quickmedia`.
## Tabs
[tabbed](https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/) can be used to put quickmedia windows into tabs. After installing `tabbed`, run `tabbed -c -k quickmedia launcher -e`.
