Installation

Via BRAT (Beta)

1. Install the BRAT plugin in Obsidian.
2. Open BRAT settings and click "Add Beta Plugin".
3. Enter this repository URL: https://github.com/RobertoJarquinRR/Media-Gallery-view
4. Enable the plugin in Obsidian's Community Plugins settings.

Via Obsidian Community Plugins

Search for "Media Gallery" in Obsidian's Community Plugins browser and install it directly.

Usage

Create a code block with the language set to MediaGallery in any note. Specify a path: to the folder containing your media, and an optional type: to choose between a video or image gallery. If type: is omitted, the gallery defaults to video.

```MediaGallery
path: directory/videos
type: video
```

```MediaGallery
path: directory/images
type: image
```

The plugin will render all matching files found in the specified folder as a gallery grid.

• Video gallery: hover a card to reveal playback controls.
• Image gallery: click a card to open it in a fullscreen lightbox. Close it by clicking the background or pressing Esc.
• Both: double-click a card to open the underlying file in a new tab.

Recommendation

For a better video playback experience, consider installing the Media Extended plugin. Note that this only improves playback when you open a video in a separate note — the gallery itself renders videos with the default HTML5 player for performance reasons.
