Use peepshow to extract frames from videos and animated images so you can view them as stills.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# peepshow — video → frames

When the user shares a video (`.mp4` `.mov` `.mkv` `.webm` `.avi` `.flv` `.wmv` `.ts` `.mts` `.m2ts` `.3gp` `.ogv`) or animated image (`.gif` `.apng` animated `.webp`) — **including when they just drop the file into the chat** — extract frames and read them as images.

## How

```bash
peepshow "<path-or-url>" --emit json
```

Parse `frames[].path` from the stdout JSON, read each as an image (in order), use `video.tags` for context (title/director/producer/show/etc), and `video.durationSeconds` to estimate per-frame timestamps. Do **not** run on static images — Cursor handles those natively.

## Install

`npm i -g peepshow` — https://www.npmjs.com/package/peepshow. ffmpeg bundled via `ffmpeg-static`, native install optional (faster).

## Flags

`--emit paths|json|markdown|caveman` · `--stats off|short|full` · `--max N` · `--threshold 0..1` · `--fps N` · `--sink <name[:arg]>` · `--gpu auto|off|videotoolbox|cuda|qsv|vaapi|amf|d3d11va` · `--dedup on|auto|off` · `--dedup-distance 0..64` · `--adaptive on|off`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add t0mtaylor/peepshow/.cursor/rules/peepshow.mdc@sha256:d3e6304bfd7bfa51

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.fffdfa3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
