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.

I gave a lightning talk about Godot as a wallpaper engine replacement via ScreenPlay[1]. I hacked this together the week before the convention and I hope to release it by the end of the month. [1] https://screen-play.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Qt/QML? I have been doing cross-platform development with Qt for a few years now [1]. It does have a learning curve, but I do like the split of C++ logic and Qml for the UI. I can recommend the qml book [2]. [1] https://screen-play.app/ [2] https://www.qt.io/product/qt6/qml-book. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

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 / 12 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 / about 1 year 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 / about 1 year 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 / over 1 year ago
