EmbyVision OCR - CPU Based AI Credits Detector for Emby (Docker)

[EncryptedCity 17]

EmbyVision OCR is a standalone OCR service designed to improve credits detection for Emby libraries. It runs separately from Emby in Docker and analyzes video frames using OCR to help identify end credits.

Note: This is not an Emby plugin. It is a standalone companion service designed to work with Emby Credits Detector integrations.
