mediainfo.yazi (newer fork) no longer working?

[xfzv]

Just curious if someone else is also experiencing this.

The original project was archived on 2024-12-20 and the creator suggests using this newer fork instead (which I'm using).

It used to work fine until not too long ago but now, nothing is displayed in the preview panel when hovering an audio, video or image file.

Issues aren't enabled on the main repo so I thought I would ask here.

I'm using Linux and Yazi git:

% yazi -V
Yazi 0.4.3 (b6cb1fa8 2025-01-29)

Can reproduce with a minimal config:

~/.config/yazi
├── plugins
│   └── mediainfo.yazi
│       └── main.lua
└── yazi.toml

~/.config/yazi/yazi.toml content:

[plugin]
prepend_previewers = [
  { mime = "{image,audio,video}/*", run = "mediainfo" },
  { mime = "application/subrip", run = "mediainfo" },
]

I guess this PR makes the plugin no longer work. I will create a branch for nightly with the fix later. Also, I didn’t notice that Ape archived his repo. 🥲

@boydaihungst Thanks for the heads up and thanks in advance for the upcoming fix!

Because ya pack -a still doesn't support branch selection, I had to create a nightly repo for it. Please reinstall and update your configuration according to the README. @xfzv

Maybe I should add this to mediainfo info? Lol. It's better to have the non-archived active repo forks for the same. I did this for eza-preview as well.

Feel free to add my plugins/forks. 👍

I believe I can close this issue if things are resolved??

[xfzv]

Yes, all good after switching to mediainfo-nightly.yazi.

Thanks!
