PlayPhrase: Site for Searching Cinema Phrases
- NKosmatos 5y agoAllows you to search for a specific phrase or word and you get video results from movies (with timestamp), where this phrase/word is being used. Has around 2M phrases and the first 5 results are free, afterwards you need to become a sponsor.
- WalterGR 5y agoAre you affiliated? Others and I have questions about implementation...
- epaga 5y agoThis is incredibly impressive, especially the ability to immediately download the snippet as an mp4. How has this not been immediately shut down due to copyright?
- ortusdux 5y agoOne of the Daily Show's greatest strengths was their ability to quickly compile relevant clips. I always wondered if they had a service like this. I assumed that they were scraping CC text themselves. Maybe they just had a phenomenal research dept.
- josefresco 5y agoI often wonder this too about a radio show I listen to with several decades of archives. I wonder what the interface looks like, and how hard it really is to assemble clips. Having a database of thousands of hours of video and audio to search sounds cool!
- realityking 5y agoThe Daily Show, and I believe most similar shows, use a product called Snapstream: https://www.snapstream.com/entertainment https://www.snapstream.com/entertainment Crucially this is not a cloud product, I suspect for copyright reasons.
- niksmac 5y agoWhere is "Guns. Lots Of Guns"?
- geofree 5y agohttps://getyarn.io/yarn-find?text=Guns.%20Lots%20Of%20Guns https://getyarn.io/yarn-find?text=Guns.%20Lots%20Of%20Guns
- ghostpepper 5y agoI couldn't find anything from The Matrix or Ghostbusters
- mratsim 5y agoIs this scraping a subtitle service + retrieving the timestamp from the subtitle and displaying it?
- roldie 5y agoThis is really great! So much fun to try out different phrases.
- jonheller 5y agoThis is one of the most impressive projects I've seen on HN in a long time. Nice work!
- josefresco 5y agoNeat, it handled "you can't handle the truth" swimmingly!
- afranchuk 5y ago"with cheese" seems to be exclusively in Pulp Fiction :D
- ampdepolymerase 5y agoHow are you able to store all the videos?
- ThisNameIsTaken 5y agoFor those interested in playing around with something similar: it looks like a sort of large scale implementation of Sam Lavigne's Videogrep[1]. [1]: http://antiboredom.github.io/videogrep/ http://antiboredom.github.io/videogrep/
- efferifick 5y agoCame here to point videogrep out. It is a great tool! I don't remember if this is out of the box for videogrep, but it is possible to generate "fine-grained" subtitle information using speech to text and some massaging. In other words, subtitles that match a specific word. I worked on something similar to this using videogrep and "fine-grained" subtitle information using Seinfeld clips. My short experiment took as input a string and looked for the longest matching subtitle and created a clip out of longest matching subtitles of characters saying the contents of the input string. I couldn't figure out how to get diarization to work reliably back then, if anyone knows, please let me know!
- etcet 5y agoOoo this is so cool [0]. I need to know the implementation details. How are the clips stored? Are they dynamically generated with ffmpeg or something or is every line of dialogue clipped out ready to serve? How many films and what are the storage costs?

- WalterGR 5y agoAnd how did they even get their source material?
- reificator 5y agoI've always wanted a service like this, for movies, TV, and music. I might be missing it, but is there a way to share a link to a specific clip, preferably not including the text used to search for it?
- geofree 5y agohttps://getyarn.io/yarn-find?text=Listen%20up%20you%20primitive%20screwheads https://getyarn.io/yarn-find?text=Listen%20up%20you%20primit...
- reificator 5y agoI edited right before you posted because I realized I misremembered the line. Thanks though.
- geofree 5y agoNice implementation, I like how it continuously plays. Similar concept to my company https://getyarn.io https://getyarn.io, where you can search into movies and tv shows :)
- treejanitor 5y agoI wonder how many clips they have compared to the 10 million+ in Yarn... https://www.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/2d30e3f1-6bc1-4aa0-bdc4-6d5c93ec9d79 https://www.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/2d30e3f1-6bc1-4aa0-bdc4-6d5...
- tabokie 5y agoI've been holding this idea of searching movie subtitles for a long time, but haven't got the energy to actually code it out. So glad to see someone else made it come true!
- dvh 5y agoSearch bar doesn't work in Android webview. Placeholder is not placeholder, I had to delete it, pressing enter doesn't start search and they're is no button to start search. Also font is huge. You have reimplemented input field and complete broke it in the process.
- salmon 5y agoNot sure if it's because I didn't make an account, but 8 of the 10 clips I got were all from The Dark Knight. I searched 2 phrases.
- riffraff 5y agoI don't know what to do with this[0], but it's pretty nice, great implementation, well done! [0] Other than this sort of video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzoPSV4ua94 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzoPSV4ua94
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoFails at: "I find your lack of faith disturbing." (Darth Vader)
- pkulak 5y agohttps://www.playphrase.me/#/search?q=you+son+of+a+bitch https://www.playphrase.me/#/search?q=you+son+of+a+bitch I wonder how long that would run for if I was a sponsor.
- ChrisArchitect 5y agothe speed at results and seeing clips from some of my fave movies left me super impressed
- h1fra 5y agoAmazing tool ! Is it possible to disable translation? A bit frustrating when searching for anything other than english and still ending up with english.
