Video & image previews #5

Currently, there seem to be 2 options for creating video and image previews:

  • Bash: FFmpeg
  • Python: Pillow (PIL)

I will create a new branch to prototype creating previews with Pillow, then I will decide which of the 2 options (FFmpeg or Pillow) is better. The obvious problem with FFmpeg is that it doesn't support decoding WebP images, which makes it incapable of creating previews of WebPs. Pillow doesn't seem to support reading information about videos, so it would need to be handled by something else like FFprobe.

It may be that the video previews need to be made with FFmpeg while the image previews can be made with Pillow.
