Electron Video Browser

Presentation

This project is just a playground I built to discover Electron through a React app.

It lists movies from the file system, extract their informations (codec, quality...) using ffprobe (ffmpeg) and shows covers from TMDB.

It uses those libraries:

• React
• Ant Design
• FFmpeg to extract video informations (codec...)
• The Movie DataBase to get movie covers
• Parcel to bundle the React application
• Electron
• Electron-builder to pack the application

Notice

My goal was to test electron, not to provide a real app. I limited my test to my laptop. Works on my MacBook Pro, on macOS Catalina, version 10.15.5
