Less Shitty Media Viewer

LSMV (Less Shitty Media Viewer)

What is it?

A media viewer that can handle both images and videos in the same UI. Our main difference to other media viewers/players is a focus on simple design, exhuastive filtering, and the strive to support every visual media file possible. LSMV is cross-platform (We could really use a Mac tester)

LSMV is strictly a viewer and should not Ever involve editing/writing files.

  • The only exception to this would be to export the media to dffierent types (JPG to PNG, MP4 to MKV, etc.)

Requirements

  • We need to have a place to view the different video and photo files

  • find and pull in media files(videos and photos) from multiple folders and putting them into one list

  • button or menu to easily access remote files

  • toggle button to show only photos/only videos/all?

    • Wouldnt this just fit in the filter? Make an extra option on a filetype filter?
  • Support hardware acceleration

    • Support all the file types & codecs (HEIC/HEIF, VAAPI, etc.)
  • In depth sorting and filtering of media
