Local VOD service and frontend. Kind of like Netflix but for local files. No need for internet connection at all! Stream your video files the way you want!
When user clicks on the thumbnail of an episode, copy the direct local file link to the clipboard so that the user can type it into the native file browser and open the video file with VLC Player
Approach:
KISS!
JSON/Pickle formatted index of media files for only one show (manually modeled)
Desktop only
Static HTML (feed JSON into it or even better: use templating and archaic static site generation)
Create thumbnails for every episode manually
Create thumbnail for show manually
Create thumbnails for seasons manually
Small additions:
Allow copying of path to show directory and season directory
