🎬 AizyPlay (AizyView Project)

AizyPlay is a local-first and sovereign media player designed to transform passive video consumption into an augmented study experience. Developed with Tauri and Rust, it integrates cutting-edge AI tools for transcription, translation, and contextual analysis, all running completely offline.


πŸš€ Key Features

  • Universal Playback: Integration of libVLC to support a wide range of video and audio formats like MP4, MKV, MP3, and FLAC. [cite: 1, 2]
  • AI Transcription: High-performance transcription using Whisper.cpp directly from the audio track. [cite: 1, 2]
  • Offline Translation: Multilingual translation pipeline powered by Meta NLLB via CTranslate2. [cite: 1, 2]
  • Contextual AI Chat: Interact with your media via a local LLM (.gguf) that understands the generated transcript. [cite: 1, 2]
  • Web Import: Securely ingest web content via yt-dlp (respecting legal and CGU guidelines). [cite: 1, 2]
  • Local Cache: Automatic saving of transcripts for instant access without re-processing. [cite: 1]

πŸ› οΈ Quick Start (Plug & Play)

AizyPlay is designed for maximum ease of use. No installation of Node.js, Python, or Rust is required for the end-user. [cite: 1]

  1. Download the ZIP archive.
  2. Extract (unzip) the folder.
  3. Run the .exe file to start AizyPlay immediately.

Important: Keep the /resources folder in the same directory as the executable. It contains all essential AI models and runtimes. [cite: 1]

βš–οΈ Vision and Sovereignty

The project aligns with a digital sovereignty approach:

  • Privacy by Design: All processing happens on your machine; no data leaves unless you use Web Import. [cite: 1, 2]
  • Independence: AizyPlay is an independent project with its own lifecycle, distinct from Aizybrain Nano. [cite: 2]
  • Ξ¨ Index: Features a confidence measure to evaluate the AI's understanding of the content. [cite: 2]
