I'm surprised how bad trace.moe is, I supplied a screen cap from "Toward the Terra" and it completely failed at finding anything similar even, same for "Future Boy Conan."

> I think what’s happening is the author tried a web URI that had an ampersand in, Bash then background the process and the author panicked thinking the Go runtime was parsing the ampersand rather than his or her $SHELL. Yes, this is exactly what happened. The author says this is one of their first Go projects, which explains their misunderstanding. They still have a lot to learn, not only about Go but Bash as well.…

I remember a couple of years ago, one project also took file paths as a parameter and supported multiple parameters. In the readme the author stated that they hadn't yet written support for wildcards (globing) so each file needed to be included manually. There were surprised and pleased when I raised an "issue" pointing out that actually they get globing for free with their $SHELL. That experience really made me appr…

And we as a community in software should appreciate and celebrate when friendly and helpful support is provided to newcomers. Thank you!

I suspect you could make some progress on a "fluff eliminator" by leveraging the existing "sakuga" database[1]. "Sakuga", in this context, meaning the well animated parts. After all, there's a fairly strong correlation between high-importance scenes and overall framecount, which makes sense when you consider that frames are the main currency animation studios work with.

I don't think this approach would work. It's quite common to have long-ish dialogue scenes with lower-grade animation, and save the high-quality work on scenes with interesting things to look at happening on the screen. As an example, the final conversation between Okabe and FB in Steins;Gate is really not good animation, but it is crucial to the plot, and the dialogue and voice acting still make it a very impactful…

Also, things like transformation sequences might have high quality because they will get reused many times.

Cool! A few of my friends have dragged me back into watching anime, so anime related side projects are fresh on my mind. This seems like a great use case for a discord bot too. My big want is a fluff eliminator API. Like a service where people can define timestamps of where the actual good stuff is on a per-episode basis. Then a wrapper service that displays just the slimmed down episode portions chained together. Bu…

There is a telegram bot that trim a particular anime secene from a specific moment. See more: https://github.com/soruly/trace.moe-media

This project is a CLI for trace.moe.

An extreme example: There's a critical scene towards the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion where a single frame is on screen for about a minute with no dialog. (Not the elevator scene.)

The impressive part here is the trace.moe service, which powers the whole thing. https://github.com/soruly/trace.moe

Is there an analogous service for identifying music (mp3/wav) files ? Or any other media formats/genres ?

I'm trying to build something similiar[0] to this by indexing (and plotting) the anime score (given by MAL, something like IMDB for anime) on a daily basis. So in theory you could look at the graph and when you see a spike in score/user/favorites the episode may be good, or bad, or anything.

That's the idea. I was busy getting the indexer stable, so it's not really finished and I haven't spent much time on design. E.g. the airing dates aren't plotted yet etc. The current work is at https://anistats.com.

An example for a overhyped show would be https://www.anistats.com/anime/41353/the-god-of-high-school. And a steady climbing, probably better-than-thought movie would be this: https://www.anistats.com/anime/38088/digimon-adventure-last-...
