MLX Video UI - Pinokio Launcher

This folder contains Pinokio launcher scripts for the MLX Video UI.

What it does

• Clones the UI repo into app/
• Installs backend Python deps and frontend Node deps
• Starts backend + frontend together with one click

Scripts

• install.js: clone mlx-video-UI into app/, clone mlx-video into mlx-video/, then install deps
• start.js: start backend + frontend together (auto-picks free ports if defaults are taken)
• update.js: git pull + reinstall deps
• reset.js: remove app/ and mlx-video/
• keys.js: optional Hugging Face / Civitai keys (stores secrets in ENVIRONMENT.local)

Notes

• Frontend is started with NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE pointing at the selected backend URL.
• start.js writes local.url so the Pinokio menu can open the UI automatically.
• Optional tokens can be set via keys.js. They are written to ENVIRONMENT.local (untracked).
