Frinkiac: Simpsons quote search engine

#32This is impressive. It found everything I tried. If the author is reading, showing GIFs or a small video clip instead of a static image would be preferable.
My favorite Simpsons quote: https://frinkiac.com/?p=caption&q=up+and+atom&e=S07E02&t=673....
Coach: Up and atom!
Rainier Wolfcastle: Up and at them.
Coach: Up and atom!
Rainier: Up and at them!
Coach: [annoyed] Up and atom!
Rainier: [louder] Up and at them!
Coach: Better.

Was this done using the DVDs? I'm curious about any potential licensing issues with the screen caps and subtitles. Did you have to get permission/sign something - or does this fall under fair use?

#34This is great! My only complaint is that it comes up with lots of near duplicates. The images look they are different frames, but the quotes they reference are the same

Where did the subtitle data come from? It's got a mispelling of Horatio McCallister in it:

Also when are you going to get seasons 16+? I really need to be able to find Jeff Albertson! (Comic book guy)

Are there plans for an API? I think it'd be fun to try and get a Pebble Time app working with this.

Re: Frinkiac: Simpsons quote search engine
#39No Milpool! :( More seriously: 1) Awesome!!! 2) It would be great if the search results page listed the quotes in addition to showing the images.
It totally does have milpool: https://frinkiac.com/?p=meme&q=i+think+i+left+my+glasses+in+... It's just that nobody ever says "Milpool" in the dialogue.
Excellent!

Cool.
"We also parse subtitle files and correlate each subtitle line's timecode with the timecode of the screenshot. Finally, the frinkiac binary can upload the data set to frinkiac-server. "
Could you elaborate on this parsing of the subtitle files. I've seen the "open source" star wars gifs file with the dialog and time codes[1], but I'm not sure how they pulled the text from the close-captioning? (edit: someone else something similar...sorry).
Also aside from the two character index search index you describe how are you searching the quotes with postgres? Are you using postgres's full text search[2] or something else?
Thanks, I love the simpsons and this is really cromulent[3] and cool.
