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).
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!
Nailed it
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.
