I'm the maintainer of Arcadeia, an open-source media library you run on your own server.

Its main feature is dynamic thumbnails: videos preview key moments automatically while you browse, so you can recognize a clip without opening each file. It also supports search, favorites, uploads, network storage and browser playback with transcoding.

It's licensed under AGPL-3.0 and intended for local or trusted network use. It doesn't include built-in authentication for public deployment.

I'd appreciate feedback on two things: do the animated thumbnails help you find clips, and where does the installation guide get in your way?
