Ah interesting. Should be fairly doable. I actually inject all of the interesting metadata into the output file as well. So theoretically even we didn't have a proper integration, systems can read that metadata. I hadn't heard about this, I'll look into it. Thanks!

    Cliparr 2.0 is out now

    What is Cliparr?

    Cliparr is a browser-based, simplified video editor with a single purpose: to create and export clips from Plex, Jellyfin, and local video.

    What's new?

    Check the blog post for the full breakdown, but the biggest change is the new canvas-based timeline editor.

    While adding support for editable subtitles, I discovered the timeline component we were using was highly inefficient. Also, no other free or open-source timeline editors existed.

    So... we now also have https://canvastimeline.com/ which is a new open-source headless video editor for JavaScript.

    Canvas Timeline allows us to load and render literally hundreds of clips without any performance issues.

    Also new:

    • Subtitle editor
    • Export size estimation
    • Mobile UI updates
    • Maintenance automations

    Aside: When making the Export Size Estimator, it made sense to also release a fully in-browser video converter: https://cliparr.dev/convert/

    Cliparr 1.2.0 is out, with many small improvements and a new convert tool.

    Cliparr is a self-hosted browser-based personal media clipper. Load up Jellyfin or Plex to the moment you want to capture, open Cliparr, and export.

    What's New

    • Offline, browser-based video converter with GIF support.
    • Fix Jellyfin HLS streams not transcoding
    • Add user-select filter for popular servers

    See the release notes: https://cliparr.dev/changelog/#v1.2.0

    Right now it just has a resolution toggle but I have been thinking of adding a quality target like we do with screenshots. A file size target is a bit more complicated but technically possible. I think a lot of apps would likely slap a "social media target". I think we could do something similar.

    I can finally set this partially aside for a little while. v1.0.0 is now available.

    Cliparr is a self-hosted media-clipper that runs *mostly * in your browser to quickly and easily create clips from your personal media. Whether it's Jellyfin, Plex, or a local video, you can jump in and quickly export a clip in a variety of file types and resolutions.

    To use it, you would do something like:

    • Watch a video on Jellyfin, pause at something funny.
    • Open Cliparr and click "Edit Clip"
    • The clip will begin exactly where you paused. Trim to your desired length.
    • Customize subtitles, if you desire.
    • Click "Export".

    Like I shared a week ago, you will then have something like this

    Check out the new website and docs at https://cliparr.dev/ The repo is available here: https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Cliparr

    I'll shamelessly ask you to please share! I can not post on that other site, try as I might.

    It has not changed. Your experience is, you didn't read the docs, made an assumption, and have been incorrect ever since. Idc if you call it a lie or not, but you know now. If you continue to spread this misinformation, it is absolutely a lie.

    Major Updates:

    • HLS Streaming (Now uses the media server's transcoded stream as the default source, which better matches expected behavior)
    • Subtitle Burn-in. Use any font on your system to overlay subtitles on the output. Subtitles come from your media server; ensure to download or select them.
