Ask HN: Meta database to manage audio, video content?
Two questions:
1. Is there a database specifically designed for Video, Audio and other unstructured data. So that you can search, administer, process (transcribe, thumbnail) and manage it in a central place. The actual binary data itself could be in any of the cloud object store (S3, etc) or Youtube and the metadata is managed in the database.
2. I couldn't find anything on the internet so built a rudimentary version of the above. Would this be helpful for others.
Thanks
- delgaudm 5y agoThis sounds really interesting. I'm a voice actor and have hundreds of gigs of audio of me speaking. Having the ability to index and search my projects would be amazing. Like, if I could type a phrase and see all the points in my audio files where that phrase was uttered would save me tons of time.
- foxyfic 5y agoI would not use a database for large files like this. At https://foxyfic.com https://foxyfic.com we store the large files in object storage (like S3 or Azure blob storage) and then store a link to that in the database where necessary.
- shikha1 5y agoYes, of course. only the metadata for audio, video is stored in the database and the binary data is in cloud object store or youtube.
