# Media Processor
This repository contains code for the MediaProcessor python3 class and related software. It uses yt-dlp to scrape content, primarily (but not exclusively) audio and video from all sources supported by yt-dlp and adds it to IPFS. It also obtains the JSON metadata for that content, and adds it to IPFS and a SQLite database that serves as a search index.

The SQLite database can be published on a website for search indexing using the dumpDB2html program. This is intended to provide a decentralized search index for all content added to IPFS by computers that utilize this MediaProcessor class, using search index software such as YaCy.
