Media Tool v2.0.0
Media Tool v2.0.0
What's new
- Mods. Every tool in Media Tool is now a mod, and you can add your own. A mod is a folder with a
mod.toml(what it is and what it asks for) and amain.py(what it does). It appears in the sidebar and on the home screen with an automatically generated form, live logs, progress and cancel, and it also works as a command:media-tool <id>. - Settings → Mods. See what is installed, open the mods folder, and turn your own mods on or off. Mods you add always start off, and turning one on shows what it will run first.
- Safe mode. Start with
--no-mods(or setMEDIA_TOOL_NO_MODS=1) to load none of your mods, for example if one misbehaves.media-tool mods list,mods enable <id>andmods disable <id>manage them from the command line. - Write one with an AI assistant. MODDING.md documents the format and includes a ready-to-paste prompt: describe what you want, and let an AI assistant write the mod.
- Everything you already use works the same. Convert, Trim, Stitch, Download, Rename, Translate, Clean Up, DVD, Audio Default, Fix Duplicates and Rename Folders look and behave as before, and the command-line options are unchanged.
Good to know
A mod is code that runs with the same access as Media Tool: it can read, change and delete your files. Its [permissions] list only describes what it does, it is not enforced. Only turn on mods from people you trust, and read the code first.
