Add a way to hide and unhide videos

Add a way to right click hide video and have a list in settings to unhide them back

Hello @fire838 - thank you for the suggestion! Could you share a little bit about the motivation for this feature? I'd love to understand that better so if I add this feature in I'll have a better idea about how to implement it. Cheers 🤝

I don't want some videos to display on videohubapp but I don't want to have to delete or move the file in the folder.

Also I have some video that's 1440x1080 and 720x480 and the "Display aspect ratio" is 16:9 but in the app it recognizes as 4:3, can you fix?

I'll consider adding "hide this video" option - but my main concern is the extra stuff that comes along with this feature. There would perhaps need to be some indicator reminding users that some videos are hidden, and there would have to be a button to allow seeing the hidden videos / to unhide them. There might even need to be a way to right-click and "unhide" in case someone hides accidentally. All this feels like a lot of stuff to add.

So far the only other request for a feature similar to this was to hide / exclude a folder. Would that solve your problem?

For "Aspect ratio" I only remember the sort-order dropdown option. What it does is just divide the width/height and sorts videos by comparing the ratio. It depends on the width and height of the video that the app determined when it was scanning a video.

I do not remember anywhere in my app where it shows "16:9" or "4:3" -- could you remind me, or maybe I misunderstood?

Passable but not ideal.

When it creates thumbnails it makes the 16:9 video into a 4:3 black bars thumbnail based on the resolution but the video is 16:9.

[whyboris]

Does it do that with every 16:9 video? Is it possible (and I suspect this happened) that the 16:9 video you are referring to actually has black bars around it (as part of the video's bitstream)?

[fire838]

No, just the nonstandard resolution ones.

Thank you for the screenshot and the file! 🎉 I was able to replicate the problem on my computer. I'll see if I can figure out what's going wrong 😅

This would be really useful and also could be implemented adding virtual folders inside the hub/library and/or adding file management functions like select file(s) -> copy to/move to to organize instead of hiding but ofc is a different approach, just to add to the discussion, hope it helps ;-)
