Media-Hoarder

Not sure what you mean by "media scanning", but if you assume that Media Hoarder isn't able to scan directories of your media, then I need to update the README - because it absolutely DOES this. [Edit]: I read your post a second time, you use the term "media scanning" for two different things: 1/ Scanning in files 2/ Providing Metadata Both are supported by Media Hoarder, none of the metadata you see in the screenshots and demos are manually provided by the user. If you want to dig a bit deeper (coming from the README), you can see linked documents that go into detail for both topics: https://github.com/theMK2k/Media-Hoarder?tab=readme-ov-file#...

Fellow hackers, Media Hoarder is celebrating its 2nd birthday today and it finally supports tv series with the freshly released v1.4.0. Here's a video showcasing the new features: https://www.youtube.com/watch/3qfb5UWJrdQ Development wise I've been joined by an individual named kolbdog323 providing lots of feedback and requests over multiple months which I'm truly grateful of, because Media Hoarder is still an absolute side-project developed by a father of two in his limited spare time :D Please feel free to discuss features, development and sideproject-y things, I'm really curious!

With all the craze around ChatGPT a good friend brought up an interesting question: how good could it be in recommending movies and could it be integrated in Media Hoarder - the media frontend? I tried a few queries to ChatGPT: - "Provide a list of oscar winning movies of 2020 and their IMDB IDs" - "Provide a list of mind-bending movies and their IMDB IDs" - "Provide a list of action movies where the protagonist is female and wields a shotgun and their IMDB IDs" and ChatGPT's answers are quite spot on! The next task was: How to integrate ChatGPT into Media Hoarder? Media Hoarder runs on Electron which allows to fully control a browser window. So you can: - open up a browser window and launch https://chat.openai.com - ask the user to have ChatGPT also return IMDB IDs - and continuously poll them from the DOM All in all, a really nice featu

Here's a video showcasing Media Hoarder's features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGkU9e1l8HU As we're on hackernews I wouldn't go much into the features of Media Hoarder with this post (see the video above for that). I'd rather like to comment on the DX. I'm a long-time lurker here on HN and in 2019 I felt the urge to develop my own take on a media center application. Media Hoarder was already usable after a few days of development and after one year it had 90% of the features I wished for myself but was not exactly ready for a release to the public. So, for this project the last 10% took another two years :) During the development I read a lot about the "ship fast" mindset which I obviously did not adopt. I could never live with a publicly released version that does not completely show what I had in mind with the app. And yeah, curren
