Show HN: Arcadeia – A self-hosted media library with animated video previews

Arcadeia shows how open-source, self-hosted media platforms are using AI-adjacent capabilities like animated previews and optional local transcription to improve searchability and user experience without sending content to the cloud. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic takeaway is that richer metadata, browser-based access, and on-prem control can significantly improve content discovery and reduce dependency on commercial SaaS, but only if security, access controls, and infrastructure readiness are addressed before broader deployment.
