Odd choice to host a collection of obviously copyrighted material - knowingly uploaded by non-copyright holders... I'm all for fan-created works, but this isn't that.

I don't see anything like that here. It's metadata like imdb, rather than links to the movies themselves.

Yep! you got it, I was looking for the timestamp when dwight fires kevin and toby, all I got was 'It happens in the finale episode bla bla...', some sites have dialogues, none of them covers the scene. That's what made me create scenestamps.

That's the first post : https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01htcv85pyskxxvgkx2kcmarc...

Nice idea for a very niche audience. I was wondering Since all movies have subtitles, can't this be done if you give gpt4/chatgpt the whole subtitles and ask it to identify identify the start and stop time in the above subtitles where "The President of the United States meets the X-Men, as they try to convince him to work together against the growing mutant threat". Just a thought.

It boggles my mind that someone hasn't used the entire corpus of https://frinkiac.com/ to write their own Simpsons episode with AI

Thanks.

Subtitles are not accurate all the time. Yes I think gpt can make sense of the dialogues, but what about a fight scene with no dialogue in-between?? Can it identify Who is saying what? I don't think gpt can do these things.

Personally I don't have money for gpt api, this site is being hosted on 1 year free DO credit of $200 which will end within 4-5 months(I'm not kidding).

It's a shame streaming sites don't support URL slugs with timestamps or other data in them, AFAIK.

It'd be really neat to be able to link to a specific scene halfway through an episode of a netflix show, like you can with youtube videos. Especially if it didn't mess with your watch history. They'd still authenticate users, so I doubt there'd be a rights issue.

Depending on the contract it may actually be a rights issue.

ya, kinda a bummer. Users can add source streaming url in create/edit source form and users can upload whatever details they want in the description section of the create/edit scene form related to the scene.

[edit] : Atleast with scenestamps you can stop dragging and get to the correct timestamp of that scene.

Not sure, some streaming services might have it.

I don't have amazon subscription, but if you have it you can check this out : https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/153zazr/commen...

Hey, why not allow adding of screen grab of the movie? I think thats fair use... I personally would love a site like this where you can also search for cinematographically beautiful frames/scenes.

will soon add a 'upload scene related images' on create/edit scene form if that's what you meant.
