On: Kodi: An Open Source Home Theater System

For browsing, previewing, searching, and organizing videos I created Video Hub App. The primary feature is scrub / preview thumbnails from inside the video as you hover with your mouse and an infinite scroll of all your videos. It also has a "filmstrip" view to see all screenshots at once.

I hope it is useful to some of you here.

Thank you for creating this! It's perfect for my current needs :)

Do you use sqlite under the hood? Also, what's the largest collection / folder size that you know videohub can handle?

Also, I just bought it anyway -- I am impressed at how you donate a generous portion of every sale to charity!

The "file system" is stupid-easy: just a JSON file renamed to `.vha2` -- see the interface here: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/blob/main/interfac...

I've had no problems with 20,000 videos in a "hub" and I've heard people pushing past 100k. JavaScript has no problem applying .filter() across this many objects quickly.

Each search is its own .filter method (inside an Angular pipe) so every search should be virtually instant. And since the screenshots are pre-extracted (the most time-consuming part of using the app), you should be able to infinite-scroll with no delays in loading previews.
