One of my favorite things to do with my media is breakup very small clips of my movies and TV shows to share with friends. Usually in response to a message or to just share them something stupid and off the way. Usually to accomplish this I have to find the clip on youtube and hope it isn’t overloaded with Ads or manually clip the media and send direct.

My feature request would be to implement an easy clip sharing feature that allowed the viewer to share a clip (without creating new media) of my Plex media via a public link to view direct from my server. Small media like this: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptkipwsli0atbfn/Tweak%20Calm%20Down%20Have%20Some%20Coffee.mp4?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptkipwsli0atbfn/Tweak%20Calm%20Down%20Have%20Some%20Coffee.mp4?dl=0)

It would be awesome to find the clips in my media, segment the section I want and then share a public link with my audience to watch the clip direct from my Plex server.

Thoughts?
