But for the video support for management purposes, yes. We use ffmpeg in
background (and in the future ExifTool) to extract video metadata and
populate the database with important properties. So yes, searching video is
well supported.

Thumbnails and preview of video work well, as ffmpeg is used in the
background to render stream. Editing is delegated to extra applications.
