livid

Synopsis

LIst of VIDeos media browse/playback web app (Haskell, Coffeescript)

Description

livid is a web application for browsing a directory tree of video files, launching playback and later deleting those files if desired. It's designed to be run locally on a system from within a gui environment so it can launch a video player application (like vlc, for example).

This application uses a vaguely-RESTful interface between the client and server. The client is a single-page design, with data encoded in JSON.

Getting source

Get the source with darcs:

$ darcs get http://hub.darcs.net/dino/livid

Or browse the source

Installing

The server is written in Haskell. To build it:

$ stack build

The client is written in Coffeescript. To build it:

$ cake build

Upon successful compilation, you can start the server:

$ ./livid-srv.sh start|stop|restart

And then load the client in your browser:

http://localhost:8082

In the client UI, navigate with the mouse or arrow keys, press Enter to play a video and Del or d to delete a file.

Various configuration options can be adjusted in the file livid.conf such as HTTP port, directories to scan for files as well as file types and video playback command.
