Mac2m3u | Fix

Arjun looked at the 8TB drive. He looked at the M3U file. An idea sparked.

Mr. Chandrasekhar squinted. He tapped.

The architecture was insane, held together by duct tape and Swift. He wrote a Python script that scanned the external drive, indexed every .mp4 , .mov , and .mkv file, and extracted metadata using ffprobe . He then built a tiny local web server—a FastAPI app—that transcoded the videos on the fly using ffmpeg . The Mac Mini’s fan screamed like a jet engine. mac2m3u
