If you keep videos in your Obsidian vault, they usually show up as a plain list of file names, and you can’t tell what anything is without opening it. Bases Video Library adds a Video library view to Bases: artwork tiles, hover previews and a popover player, driven by the notes and files you already have.
What it does
- Zero setup: a base of .mp4 files already works with no notes at all.
- Two layouts: Landscape (16:9) or Poster (2:3) tiles, with an adjustable tile width.
- Shelves: set Group by on the base and the library splits into shelves with a heading and count.
- Hover previews: vault videos play muted and looping right in the tile.
- Popover player: Space plays and pauses, arrow keys seek, f toggles fullscreen, Escape closes.
- Resume where you left off: playback position is remembered per video, never written to your notes.
- Details panel: see and edit a note’s properties beside the tile.
MP4, WebM, MOV and M4V files play in the popover, and direct links to .mp4 files play too. Requires Obsidian 1.10.0 or newer with the Bases core plugin on. Price: $14.99.
