[Feature] Use local folder as media input

I have a lot of media files on my server where Whishper is running that I want to generate subtitles for. Would be nice to be able to use that folder as an input to search for files.

So, you first map a local folder in the docker compose

...
volumes:
  - /local/media1:/app/media/media1
  - /local/media2:/app/media/media2

And then in the "New Transcription" modal you can select files in a dropdown that are located in the /app/media folders. This way the process can be later automated as well (like scanning the media folder, ...).

Also, is there a reason for the file size limit? I hope we can remove that limit when the files are already locally or is it a limit from the transcription-api?

If the feature looks cool, I can have a look at starting the implementation if you like (via PR)

+1 for this feature.

I agree that being able to use local storage is important. Primary reason that I looked at this project is because I want to generate subtitles for media that I already have on my local storage. Without that ability I see no reason to install it.

I will look into it, right now I won't have much time until next week or so, but I'll take a look into it as soon as I can :)
