OpenSeek

OpenSeek serves scrub-preview thumbnails for video players as JPEG sprite sheets and a WebVTT cue track. A player looks a title up by metadata id and duration, reads the cue that covers the current playback position, and crops one 320×180 tile out of a sheet.

The reference implementation is three Python programs: a generator, a static file server and a registry. Coverage is per title and can be partial, so every lookup reports where coverage ends. New coverage is merged in from players that watch.

Where to go

• Docs — the short reference: quickstart, authentication, lookup, VTT and coverage, limits, errors.
• Dashboard — your API keys, usage and contributed titles. Sign-in required.
• SDK — the five-step lifecycle from the lookup request to the rendered tile, with Kotlin and JavaScript snippets.
• API — every endpoint marked open or keyed, how to get a key, and the limits that currently apply.
• Self-hosting — indexing media you have the right to process, from a local file to your own registry.

Repositories

• github.com/Yatin-Code/openseek-sdk — Kotlin and JavaScript client packages.
• github.com/Yatin-Code/NuvioMobile — the player that consumes the SDK.
