MediaViewer - A Simple Media Browser and Viewer

MediaViewer is a lightweight, web-based application built with Flask that allows users to explore, view, and download media files from a structured directory. Whether you're working with images, videos, or both, MediaViewer provides an easy-to-navigate interface to browse and preview media in your collection.

Features

  • Media Exploration: Browse through folders and subdirectories of media files, including images (JPEG, PNG, GIF) and videos (MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV).
  • Thumbnail Generation: Automatically generates thumbnails for images and video previews for quick browsing.
  • Image Viewer: View images in full-screen mode with easy navigation between adjacent images.
  • Video Playback: Play videos directly in the browser with built-in controls (play, pause, volume).
  • Download Support: Download individual media files directly to your computer.
  • Responsive Design: Clean, user-friendly interface that adapts to different screen sizes (desktop and mobile).
  • Pagination: Efficient file listing with pagination support for large media collections.
  • Customizable Navigation: Intuitive next/previous controls for image and video browsing.

  • Flask: A Python-based micro web framework for building the backend.
  • Pillow (PIL): Python Imaging Library used for generating image thumbnails.
