A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

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.
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.

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

Can you edit the post to put it in the description so it's at the top?
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.~___~
