Assuming this is it: https://github.com/benyetra/Cliparr

Seems like it requires Plex, rather than just reading your media files by themselves.

Ah, I see because I shared a video, I guess Lemmy might have ignored my link. This is the repo https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Cliparr

This project shares nothing with that other project. It is designed to be a companion app to your media server. Currently only supporting Plex, it will show you the currently active video.

The pipeline for me is something like

  • Watches TV show
  • Wants make a clip in the moment
  • Opens Cliparr

The alternative required downloading the video from the Plex web client, and then manually editing the full video file in local editing software. If people are interested, adding Jellyfin support should be very simple, I just do not currently run an instance of Jellyfin

Oh, this sounds cool, +1 for adding Jellyfin (since I'm not using Plex).
