Video Hub App
Video Hub App helps organize video collections on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What Video Hub App is
Video Hub App helps organize video collections on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Choose folders on a computer, external hard drive, or network drive, then browse as the app generates thumbnails, screenshots, and preview clips. Search can use folder names, file names, tags, fuzzy matching, or regular expressions. Users can add tags, ratings, and descriptions, rename files, find duplicates, and create playlists from search results. The FAQ lists support for formats including AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, MP4, WebM, and WMV. Video files remain unchanged; the app stores a hub database file and screenshots in a companion folder. A local server enables phone or tablet access, but while it runs, anyone on the same Wi-Fi with its address can view hub screenshots. A free demo allows 50 videos per hub. Unlimited costs $10, paid once and includes unlimited videos and free updates for a year. A portable version is available.
