This is a Yazi plugin for previewing media files. The preview shows thumbnail
using `ffmpeg` if available and media metadata using `mediainfo`.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Minimum version: yazi v25.5.31.
## Preview

- SVG+XML file doesn't have useful information, so it only show the image preview.
- There are more file extensions which are supported by mediainfo. Just add file's MIME type to `prepend_previewers`, `prepend_preloaders`.
Use `spotter` to determine File's MIME type. [Default is `<Tab>` key](https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/blob/1a6abae974370702c8865459344bf256de58359e/yazi-config/preset/keymap-default.toml#L59)
## Installation
- Install mediainfo CLI:
- [https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download](https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download)
- Run this command in terminal to check if it's installed correctly:
```bash
mediainfo --version
```
If it output `Not found` then add it to your PATH environment variable. It's better to ask ChatGPT to help you (Prompt: `Add MediaInfo CLI to PATH environment variable in Windows`).
- Install ImageMagick (for linux, you can use your distro package manager to install):
https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php
- Install this plugin:
```bash
ya pkg add boydaihungst/mediainfo
```
## Configuration:
> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> `mediainfo` use built-in video, image, svg, magick plugins behind the scene to render preview image, song cover.
> So you can remove those 4 plugins from `prepend_preloaders` and `prepend_previewers` sections in `yazi.toml`.
If you have cache problem, run this cmd, and follow the tips: `yazi --clear-cache`
Config folder for each OS: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/overview.
Create `.../yazi/yazi.toml` and add:
> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> For yazi nightly replace `name` with `url`

# Section header style.
# Example: Video, Text, Image,... with green color in preview images above

tbl_col = { fg = "blue" }
