A bunch of high school and college kids are using our TTS APIs to run 24/7 streams of improvised SpongeBob, Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Breaking Bad (wat??), and more. This stuff is all over Twitch and YouTube streaming.

What are these improvised streams called generally? What’s the terminology to refer to them?

copyright infringement ;)

I launched something very similar ~5 years ago! The site is long gone, but there's some screenshots here: https://www.producthunt.com/products/spoiled-tv

Good luck! My goal was to be a sort of "Rap Genius" for movies and TV shows, but unfortunately, I couldn't really figure out the business angle, and my traffic was abysmal, so I had to shut it down. If you care to, you can see my old pitch deck here[1].

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

What's the timestamp relative to? Depending on the origin, the same movie/episode may have different lengths for things like opening credits or "previously on ..." shorts

timestamp related to how long the scene takes place. Eg :Joker Stairs Dance: https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hv65eahhtfr58phx5keb1b1... Timestamp :1:30:19 to 1:30:16 joker dance takes place between 1:30:19 to 1:30:16 in the movie.

I think you've missed the point of the question. For many movies, there isn't a single canonical version as different editions are released for different markets.

The world we're entering into will rapidly no longer need copyright. It'll be possible to create all of the inputs into, say, a Star Wars movie, in as little as a weekend.

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.

I really like that idea! That sort of skirts IP issues while giving the user better intuitive experience of the remembrance of the cinematic moment :)

PS Hate to be boogie, but I can see this as being a great driver for sales of the episodes/series themselves, i.e. "to watch the whole scene, purchase here"

You're definitely correct. Not even only on different streaming services. Movies have different cuts too. For instance, Blade Runner has 5 different cuts

It has to be more than 5 cuts, even.

you can mention those in the descriptions and the data can be updated whenever you like.

There is an input for sharing streaming link while creating source. You are not forced to share but, it depends whatever is the timestamp on the streaming link you share
