## 1. Introduction

AVPlay is a versatile media playback library that supports multiple media backends (both audio and video) all under a unified API. With added features such as playlist playback, applying audio filters, and more.

### Features

- **Multiple backends supported**, including: 
  - **MPV**: Video playback with FFmpeg supported filters
  - **FMOD**: High performance and low latency playback, with high quality audio filters
  - **VLC**: Simple media playback and widely supported formats
- **Flexible and consistent core API design**, which can be further extended to support more backends
- **Playlist management**: Easily load, create, manage, and save playlists in various formats (M3U, PLS, XSPF, JSON). Supports features like sorting, filtering, and shuffling
- **Apply high quality audio effects/filters** in real time
- And more

## 2. Installation & Configuration

### Installation

1. **Install via PyPI**:
   ```bash
   pip install AVPlay
   ```

AVPlay depends on the following libraries: *validators*, *music-tag*, and bindings for each of the supported backends: *python-mpv*, *pyfmodex*, and *python-vlc*.

2. **Install a native media backend**:
   AVPlay requires at least 1 backend available on your system to function properly.

#### FMOD
1. Create an account and download FMOD from the [main website](https://www.fmod.com/download)
2. Install FMOD. Then locate the library files matching your machine's OS and architecture.

#### MPV
1. Download the libmpv library:
   - **Windows**: You can find builds at [shinchiro's builds](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/). You require mpv-2.dll
   - **macOS**: `brew install mpv`
   - **Linux**: `sudo apt-get install libmpv-dev` or `sudo dnf install mpv-libs-devel`

#### VLC
Install the full VLC Media Player application from the [official VideoLAN website](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/).

### Configuration

AVPlay uses environment variables to detect which backend to use and where to find its native libraries. You must set these before importing av_play.

```python
import os

# --- Example for FMOD ---
os.environ["USE_FMOD"] = "1"
# Path to the directory containing fmod.dll or libfmod.so
# Only the path to the folder where the library is located.
os.environ["FMOD_LIB_PATH"] = "./libs/fmod" 

# Now import the library
import av_play
```

---

## 3. Quick Start

```python
import os
os.environ["USE_FMOD"] = "1"
os.environ["FMOD_LIB_PATH"] = "C:/Program Files (x86)/FMOD SoundSystem/FMOD Studio API Windows/api/core/lib/x64"
import av_play as av
import time

filepath = "test.mp3"
player = av.AudioPlayer()
player.init()

print("FMOD Player Initialized.")

try:
    instance = player.create_file_instance(filepath)
    instance.set_volume(0.8)
    instance.play()
    print(f"Playing '{instance.file_path}'...")
    
    while instance.get_playback_state() == av_play.AVPlaybackState.AV_STATE_PLAYING:
        pos = instance.get_position()
        length = instance.get_length()
        print(f"Position: {pos}/{length} seconds", end='\r')
        time.sleep(1)

    print("\nPlayback finished.")

finally:
    print("Releasing resources.")
    player.release()
```
