harvid - HTTP Ardour Video Daemon

harvid decodes still images from movie files and serves them via HTTP.

About

harvid's intended use-case is to efficiently provide frame-accurate data and act as second level cache for rendering the video-timeline in Ardour, but it is not limited to that: it has applications for any task that requires a high-performance frame-accurate online image extraction processor.

For more information please see the readme file or read the manual page which is included with the software.
