Curator v0.1.0: Auto-organize large movie collections (AI language detection+sync)
3 projects | /r/jellyfin | 22 Jan 2023

Right now it's in early stages: It can detect languages from audio and subtitles (Whisper+LangID) with good results so far tried with 52 movies here (failed with just 1 which was silent). I'm currently working on synchronization: Hopefully subtitle timestamps and audio sound effects can suffice for cross-correlation. After that, I'll work on the TUI (maybe add a proper GUI too) to improve UX.
