media

Media opener through disposables in Qubes OS.

Table of Contents

Description

Creates the offline "media" qube for storing multimedia files and open the files in a named disposable "disp-media" via MIME configuration. You can also connect any disposable qube based on "dvm-media" to a netvm and gather media over the network.

Installation

  • Top:
sudo qubesctl top.enable media
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-media,media state.apply
sudo qubesctl top.disable media
sudo qubesctl state.apply media.appmenus
  • State:
sudo qubesctl state.apply media.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-media state.apply media.install
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=media state.apply media.configure
sudo qubesctl state.apply media.appmenus

Usage

You will store multimedia files in the media qube. When you try to open a file in that qube, it will open instead in the disposable "disp-media".

No file browser is installed in the media qube as code execution exploits in file browsers are common when rendering thumbnails, indexing file name, automatically running scripts saved in the home directory. You are open to forward files from the "media" qube to "disp-media" by running xdg-open /path/file or more explicitly, qvm-open-in-dvm /path/file.

You can personalize mpv by editing $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/mpv.conf.
