What it does
Push a peepshow run into a Qdrant collection. Each frame is a point with a text-embedding vector and structured payload (director, genre, timestamp, path) so you can query with vector + filter.
When to reach for it
- Filterable video RAG: `similar to X AND genre=Thriller AND director=Kubrick`
- Enterprise self-hosted vector DB with peepshow as the ingestor
- High-QPS frame lookup for an agent querying a very large video corpus
Install
npm i -g peepshowUse it
peepshow ./doc.mp4 --sink qdrant \
--sink-arg url=https://your-cluster.qdrant.io \
--sink-arg collection=peepshowMake it automatic
Register the sink once — every run fires it afterward. Scope by --when so it only runs for matching videos.
peepshow sinks add qdrant
peepshow sinks add qdrant --when extension=mp4,mov
peepshow sinks add qdrant --when path=/Volumes/Work/Configuration

Use with an LLM agent
Every peepshow sink reads its config from env vars and receives a single JSON payload on stdin. An LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex) can drive the Qdrant sink automatically when three things are true:
- the env vars below are exported in the agent's shell (or a project
.envit can load), - the
peepshowCLI is onPATH— install withnpm i -g peepshow, - a peepshow auto-sink is registered for the run (optional but recommended — makes invocation zero-argument).
1. Set the environment
# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or a project .env the agent can load
export PEEPSHOW_QDRANT_URL="..."2. Register as an auto-sink
peepshow sinks add qdrant
peepshow sinks add qdrant --when extension=mp4,mov3. Example LLM session
You → drop a
.movinto Claude Code.Claude → auto-invokes
/peepshow:slides ./clip.mov. peepshow extracts frames + audio, theQdrantsink forwards the run to the configured collection. Claude replies with a summary and a link to the created record.
The transcript text is a natural embedding target — index it next to the frames.
Write your own
A sink is any executable that reads the --emit json payload on stdin. Shell, Node, Python, Go — the spec's in docs/PLUGINS.md. Register persistent ones with peepshow sinks add-cmd 'your-command'.
