About

Video Hub App was created by Boris Yakubchik. It uses the frameworks Angular and Electron.

License

This software was built on top of angular-electron by Belnadris. It carries an MIT license (see the LICENSE file). While the license is permissive, I ask that you do not distribute free copies of this software unless you have significantly changed it.

Contributing

I would love to see the improvements you make to this app and am happy to accept pull requests. See issues for ideas for improving this app or to add your suggestions.

Please consider improving any of the translations, or add a new translation!

Please consider improving or adding an icon to the app. It's a simple process, just follow the instructions!

Upcoming features

See issues for what is in progress.

Development

⚠ The repository is usually ahead of the publicly released version - it is 🚧 WIP and may have bugs in it.

How to start:

  • npm install --legacy-peer-deps to install
  • npm start to develop
  • npm run electron to build

Main dependencies in use:

LibraryVersionDateComment
Angularv20Oct 2025
Angular-CLIv20Oct 2025
Electronv42Jun 2026(internally uses Node v24.16.0 and Chromium 148)
Electron Builderv26Oct 2025
  • Node: It may be best to use the same version as Electron uses internally (v24.16.0)

  • Angular CLI: not required but may be useful: Angular CLI.

  • Mac: We now have M1 and Intel builds, but you may need to manually update the FFmpeg and FFprobe executables if you're building for a different architecture than you are on.

To help debug a production build of VHA you can use Debugtron

Remote

👩‍🚀 a new feature in VHA is the option for the user to turn on a server after the app starts. This will let the user open a simpler version of the VHA user interface on their phone or tablet (if both PC and device are on the same WiFi) and use it as remote control to play videos 🚀

For details, see instructions.

Thank you

This software would not be possible without the tremendous work by other people:

This software uses libraries from the FFmpeg project under the LGPLv2.1 with binaries from here

Since becoming open source, this software was made better with the awesome contributions by cal2195
