Very unfortunate choice to use Plex, which has been collecting telemetry on its users since 2017:

That type of service is pretty close to the top of the list when it comes to things I demand privacy for.
But this is a cool project! Looking forward to Jellyfin support.
Thanks, this is good to know. I'm in the process of upgrading my media setup and am playing around with Jellyfin to replace Plex. I've been reluctant to commit since Plex is easy and I have a lifetime pass, but this data collection is a great reason to finally be done with Plex
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
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).
After jellyfin super is added, I think it might be useful to have a way to just point it at an smb share and select what to clip from there.
Looks cool! I'll play around with it.
One suggestion that would solidify this for me: let me display subtitles and export as a gif.~___~
Good suggestions! I'll work on both.

Can you edit the post to put it in the description so it's at the top?
There we go, I think. Thanks!
