A premium, cross-platform media portal and processing toolkit.

FluxMedia is a production-ready media manager, automated downloader, and local streaming gateway wrapped in a responsive terminal application and web interface.

📢 Latest Release: v1.15.1

• Feature: Table-driven plugin manager — numbered pick-from-table enable/disable and run flows, bulk toggles, and search across name/description/author.
• Feature: Configurable update-check interval (daily/weekly/monthly/never) with "Ignore This Version" on every update prompt.
• Fix: Quality-filtered downloads gracefully fall back to best instead of failing when a bucket has no streams.

🌟 Key Features

• Universal Extraction Core: Seamlessly download high-quality videos, playlists, audio streams, channel collections, and subtitles powered by a robust wrapper around yt-dlp.
• Sync Play (Watch Party) [Beta]: Synchronize media playback across all connected devices on your local network, perfect for hosting local watch parties.
• FluxMedia Web UI: A beautiful, responsive React-based web dashboard to remotely control your downloads, manage files, and host Watch Parties directly from your browser.
• Built-in LAN Sharing Gateway: Share downloaded files instantly to any device on your local network using a built-in password-protected HTTP server with QR code access.
• Instagram Profile Downloader [Beta]: Batch download media directly from Instagram profiles with our new custom extraction module.
• Advanced Post-Processing: Automatically extract audio (MP3/M4A/FLAC), merge separate audio/video formats, inject descriptions and tags, and embed album artwork via FFmpeg.
• Universal OS Support: The cross-platform install.py script automatically resolves dependencies across Windows (winget), macOS (brew), Android Termux (pkg), and virtually all Linux package managers (apt, pacman, dnf, apk, zypper, xbps).
