   Best way to browse your videos

   I created this software because there was no good alternative. If you want to see what videos you have on an external hard drive, and you want to see screenshots from within the video, this software has you covered.

   It now has over 900 purchases, so seems like other people like it too.

• Anime metadata - an endless quest

  Then I found Shoko and was blown away. I found out that not only could I use it to fix the metadata problem, but I could even get it to organize and rename my entire collection. I spent a lot of time configuring this renaming (even making my own fork of ShokoServer because I didn't like their invalid character replacements) and then, after making sure it worked for a few examples, threw my whole library into it.

• Help with anime series

  Might wanna look into shoko server and shokofin. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anime on Jellyfin

  I've had no issues here with subtitles. Metadata can be a bit janky though, so I use Shoko and the Shokofin plugin to help: Https://shokoanime.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• I have an problem with anime metadata

  The last time I was looking into this, I came across a couple of projects that are supposed to help you organize your anime library to deal with this kind of stuff, the main current one being Shoko. Some past discussions: [1], [2]. Source: over 1 year ago

• Personal Music Streaming Cloud

  The only way I was able to work around this was by setting up a Shoko server, which fixed all those issues for the most part, although I still have some issues on a few shows. I actually also use Shoko as my primary Plex agent now for my anime libraries and it works pretty well. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How did you earn your first $100 and first $1k online?

  First $100: Thirty copies sold of Video Hub App First $1,000: Three hundred copies sold of my Video Hub App https://videohubapp.com/ Though I do donate $3.50 of every sale to a cost-effective charity so in theory I made no money for a while until I bumped the price to $5 / copy. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System

  Semi-on-topic: I created Video Hub App that is like YouTube for local files: shows you a gallery with scrub-able (preview on hover) thumbnails. But does not work streaming videos to TV / tablet - only for local consumption. Hope someone finds it useful. https://videohubapp.com/ MIT Open Source: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Python GUIs

  "The problem" might be that people in this thread and others get frustrated because others have different goals than them. Of course Electron is overkill for a single-button application. But Visual Basic is absolutely going to be a headache if you want a custom GUI. Pick the tool that's right for the job! I build this with Electron: https://videohubapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• I've been data hoarding for 25 years. I have a bajillion hobbies. It's hard to stay organized.

  I created Video Hub App: https://videohubapp.com/ - it shows screenshots from videos as you scrub/hover across the thumbnail. Source: about 1 year ago

• FFmpeg 6.0

  I've been so frustrated that FFprobe functionality is not part of FFmpeg. My app extracts screenshots from videos to create a beautiful gallery of videos. But even though I include FFmpeg already, I need a 50mb FFprobe executable to be bundled with my app just so that I can determine the width, height, duration, and fps of a video file! What is it that FFprobe does that FFmpeg couldn't do with a few extra pieces... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
