AMP is a highly extensible, blazingly fast media player built with Rust and Slint. It features a fully pluggable architecture, allowing for easy integration with various media providers through a dynamic plugin system.

Features

• Runtime Extensions: Loads dynamic libraries (.so / .dll) at runtime to extend functionality.
• Hardware Accelerated Playback: Uses libmpv for high-performance, hardware-accelerated video playback.
• Modern UI: Built with Slint for a smooth and responsive user interface.
• Rich Metadata: Support for posters, episode information, and watch status synchronization.
• Built-in Integrations:
  • Jellyfin: Full support for browsing, searching, and streaming from Jellyfin servers.
  • Discord RPC: Automatically updates your Discord status with current playback info.

Architecture

AMP is split into three main components:

1. AMP Core: The main application runner, UI (Slint), and MPV integration.
2. AMP API (amp-api): A shared crate defining the traits and types that both the core app and plugins use.
3. Plugins: Dynamic libraries located in the plugins/ directory (or built-in) that implement media providers or playback extensions.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust: Install the latest stable version of Rust via rustup.
• libmpv: Ensure libmpv is installed on your system.
  • Linux: Install libmpv-dev (e.g., sudo apt install libmpv-dev).
  • Windows: Place mpv-1.dll in your path or the project root.

Running

Clone the repository and run, note that this will compile the latest version.

cargo run --release

For Arch Linux based systems you can use just build system, and just install to install the AUR package. The package is generated from the files along with creating the .desktop file for integration with menus like tofi.

Configuration

AMP stores its configuration and plugins in the standard OS config directory:

• Linux: ~/.config/AMP/
• Windows: %AppData%\amp\AMP\config\
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/com.amp.AMP/

The config.json file stores provider and extension settings.

Developing Plugins

AMP supports three types of plugin capabilities:

• MediaProvider: Integrate new content sources (e.g., Plex, Local Files).
• PlaybackExtension: React to playback events (e.g., Discord RPC, Scrobbling).
• LibraryManager: Manage and organize media libraries.
