Awhile ago I saw a developer posting about their new project to recreate the home movie experience with modern smartphone -taken video clips. It might have been posted in this community.

Does anyone know how to find this?

Isn't that just a video editing program?

I think I found it: cassette. Unfortunately it is iOS, not selfhosted :(

Some noise, desaturation, maybe a few scan lines, add a date and runtime overlay and you're probably most of the way there.

@sem For the playlist side you could make a bash script that picks random videos from your videos samba share, maybe calling out to file or ffmpeg to get the length so that it can get around 30 minutes worth, and generate a vlc playlist, then open the playlist in VLC.

If you also want to apply "VCR" video filters over the top then it might be able to tell VLC to do that as well?
