# 🎬 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**.

## 🚀 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]

## 🛠️ 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]

## ⚖️ 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]
* **Ψ Index**: Features a confidence measure to evaluate the AI's understanding of the content. [cite: 2]
