This fork adds video thumbnail generation to FileBrowser.

Inspired by this fork by cody82, but further customized.

• Thumbnails are stored in a .thumbnails subfolder, alongside the existing cache mechanism.
• Hardware acceleration is dynamically selected based on the OS for maximum compatibility:
  • Linux: VA-API
  • Windows: DXVA2
  • Mac: VideoToolbox
• Thumbnail generation pauses when leaving a folder, allowing new folders to start processing without waiting for previous ones to finish.

• FFmpeg is required.
• The ctx utility is used to handle stopping thumbnail generation.

• 22-Feb-25 – This fork will now be automatically kept up to date via GitHub Actions.
• The following files were modified:
  • /http/preview.go
  • /frontend/src/components/files/ListingItem.vue

ChatGPT was heavily involved in generating the code.

Although I have programming experience and even a software engineering degree, my career path led me to IT and System Administration.

This is my first real experience with Golang, so go easy on me! 😅
