MCAV (pronounced EM CAV) is an incredibly powerful multimedia library and plugin for Java, serving as the successor of EzMediaCore2. MCAV utilizes several low-level libraries like FFmpeg, OpenCV, and LibVLC (from VLC media player) to provide a seamless playback experience for developers and users. MCAV also is capable of rendering browsers using Selenium and Playwright, or even virtual machines using QEMU. All of this is supported within the library and plugin itself.
The plugin is an example demonstrating the power of the library. For media playback, it supports several thousands of websites that can be listed here, some of which include YouTube, Twitch, SoundCloud, CNN, you name it. You're also able to play local files, stream from IP cameras, screen-share using an OBS virtual camera, and much more. All of this combined with audio playback, which you can use a website to stream audio to or a Discord bot to play audio in voice channels.
