Media Companion Plugin for Obsidian

[!CAUTION] This plugin creates and edits a file for each media file. Before using it on any vault, make a backup.

[!WARNING] The file types this plugin is known to work for have been added in the default settings of the plugin. Other formats that Obsidian supports may work but they are not (yet) officially supported.

A companion plugin for Obsidian that creates a gallery with all your media files. The plugin aims to let you search through these files. Additionally, it creates sidecar files for each media file, to allow for adding notes, tags, and so on.

Features

Search through your files based on folders, tags, or file types.

More complex searching can also be done, like searching by color (without use of AI!). You can see the plugin in action here.

Art shown in the images and video is from this dataset of Van Gogh paintings

Planned features

    • Audio files (mp3, wav)
    • 3d objects (obj, blender files, gltf)
