Video Hub App allows you to browse, search, preview, and organize your videos.
It extracts screenshots (choose the size and number) from every video in a directory and provides an easy to search and preview interface. It shows the preview as you hover over with your mouse. Clicking in the gallery opens the file.
You can add custom tags, star rating and year information for each video. There are many ways to filter and sort: search by folder, file, tag, star rating, resolution, duration, and more.
You can scan videos from external hard drives for searching even when the hard drives are not connected.
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.

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
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 / 10 months ago
"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 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

It's not free, but I'm a big fan of JRiver Media Center and have been using it for many years. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Your license will last forever, but you do need to pay for major version upgrades (once-per-year). I'm an audiophile with a substantial library and I'm personally happy to support efforts like this, but I get that paying isn't for everyone. Source: 12 months ago

I suspect another commercial product, JRiver Media Center, might be more flexible than Mezzmo (less arbitrary about what you can and can't do), but it sounds like the Android and Android TV client is probably a mess. I've never done a setup with it. Source: about 1 year ago
Many media players support ripping 1 disc at a time at least. Even Windows Media player can rip to wave and FLAC. Foobar2000 is a good option here. I personally have my library in JRiver, which isn't free, but I've been happily using it for many years. Source: over 1 year ago
