About
This is a file browser skill for OpenVoice OS. It builds a local index of your media files so you can find them by voice.
Organize your media collection like this so the skill can find it:
~/OCPMedia/Music
~/OCPMedia/Movies
~/OCPMedia/Podcasts
~/OCPMedia/...
The skill maps each top-level folder to a media type. It loads each subfolder as a playlist.
You can set the base folder in the skill settings. The default is
~/OCPMedia.
{
"media_path": "~/OCPMedia"
}
Install
Install this skill through the OVOS skill installer, or add it to your OVOS
instance as any other ovos.plugin.skill entry point.
