Description

Web Capture subcommands:

• web-add: index open web directories using ffprobe and exifTool to fetch additional metadata from remote file headers (without downloading the full file) for later automated selective downloading.
• tube-add: index video site metadata via yt-dlp
• gallery-add: index image gallery site metadata via gallery-dl
• extract-links: extract links from within a webpage, even if the page uses ShadowDOM, postMessage, and nested frames
• links-add: build updatable link-scraping databases for paginated content

Local file management subcommands:

• fs-add: index local files with ffprobe, exifTool, and textract
• cluster-sort: sort lines of text by similarity (a common use for this is to identify similar file paths)
• merge-folders: merge file trees (similar to rclone move but it will print detailed information about overwrites and trumps (future overwrites from multiple source folders) before moving anything)
• relmv: move but preserve parent folder information
• process-image: convert large images as scaled AVIF files as an alternative to file deletion
• process-ffmpeg: convert large video/audio files to AV1/Opus as an alternative to file deletion

Quality Assurance subcommands:

• media-check: check video and audio files for corruption by decoding small sections or the whole file
