MarcinSufa/claude-watch-videoPlugin
watch-video gives Claude eyes and ears for any video — local files, public URLs (YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, TikTok, ~1,500 sites via yt-dlp), or Jira attachments fetched directly via API token. One command produces a complete evidence bundle: timestamped JPEG frames, a Whisper transcript (local faster-whisper or hosted Groq / OpenAI), optional OCR for on-screen text, and three report formats — report.md, self-contained report.html with base64-embedded frames, and corporate-friendly report.docx. Key features: - LLM-driven highlights: pass a prompt ("summarize the rate decision and inflation outlook", "identify the bug and when it occurs") and Claude picks the N most relevant moments with frame + reason + verbatim quote. - Smart dedup with perceptual hash + transcript-aware protection: typically drops 40-60% of redundant frames on screen recordings without losing narrated moments. - OCR for screen-recording UIs: Tesseract with 2x upscale + auto-invert + PSM 6, output to grep-able ocr.txt. - Per-step content-hash cache: re-runs are nearly free. - Opt-in Jira posting with a confirmation gate BEFORE any attachment upload — declining leaves the ticket untouched, no orphan state. - Batch mode for sprint retros: process a JQL query's worth of bug tickets in one command.
Why this score
Popularity score: 56/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
