  • Exactly. I’m so very curious if something like this exists for processing high profile figures like politicians and celebrities. A catalog of things they’ve said, actions and insinuations, and etc.

    I mean, maybe there’s a team that manually looks up every single time X politician mentions or is seen eating McDonald’s. Or… perhaps there’s this awesome database that maintains this kind of info.

    You never know when you need a reference every time X politician talks about grabbing 🐈.



  • I don’t know. Perhaps it seems like a lot because of how quickly studios can push something out on the most random topics.

    Let’s pretend we’re doing a comedy bit where the celebrity XYZ is talking about hot dogs.

    If you don’t have a database to search, then you need to start scrapping as many videos from YouTube and other sources of that celebrity. You can leverage YouTube’s existing transcription capability with some additional software. Then you need to at store it in some sort of searchable database to automate it. Etc etc.

    And then the boss says, “forget hot dogs! Eggplants! I need all the videos where they reference eggplants!”

    Or to make it even harder, I’ve seen so many videos where the person is just gesticulating or making some sort of movement. No words transcribed. It’s just physical. And somehow these studios manage to scrounge up a dozen clips referencing that very thing. Then they pump something out in a day.

    I just imagine there has to be some sort of system for this in the film and TV industry. Or maybe a private company they rely on.

    YouTube content creators obviously don’t have this kind of cash, so they’re going to have to rely on more manual methods that take time and they’re not going to be able to find nearly as much.

    🤦🏽

    I’ve been wondering about this for so long. It’s so mundane and useless. And yet it’s a practical element of studio or online content creation that I’ve never really understood. And for some reason I keep thinking about it! 😅



  • I understand on an individual basis how to search transcripts and find the cuts one is looking for. There’s a variety of applications and indirect ways to achieve this even for a small time content creator. However, this is time consuming and most people don’t have libraries built up that contain the content for quick access.

    I’m thinking more about something like The Daily Show, SNL, or any late night TV show. I can’t imagine that they’re manually doing all this work independently.

    Perhaps there are databases made available to them through a third party or perhaps their production companies?












  • There’s so many projects I’d like to be involved in, but my day to day job murders all desire to do any additional coding and engineering, even for projects I love. I just don’t have the steam.

    Perhaps one day, when I finally get another job and my work life balance is actually healthy, I can then get back to those projects I truly enjoy. Well, I’d like to imagine and fantasize, at least. 😁


  • Yeah, I saw the GitHub issue assigned. Good luck to them.

    As for pipepipe, I was curious if it was actually working. Just installed, tested, uninstalled. On my end, it’s behaving the same (but with a less helpful error message). No content plays.

    I’m happy to exercise patience while the newpipe team does their thing. I’m really grateful for what they’ve been able to provide thus far.
