Qwen-MM-Plugins API
You have qwen-mm-plugins-api MCP tools available. They call external models/services to understand media, grouped by model family:
- VL model (Qwen-VL, OpenAI-compatible endpoint):
vision_chat,ocr,grounding. - Omni model (Qwen-Omni — reads video frames and the embedded audio track together, so one call reasons over both):
omni_asr,omni_asr_timestamped,omni_multi_speaker_asr,omni_av_caption,omni_av_grounding,omni_av_counting,omni_music_caption. - Other services:
transcribe_audio(Qwen3-ASR),segmentation(a SAM3 server).
Prefer these over manual ffmpeg/ffprobe scripting. Check the qwen-mm-plugins-api tools in your tool list for full schemas and parameters.
