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.
- json_bourne_ 2y agowill soon add a 'upload scene related images' on create/edit scene form if that's what you meant.
- achillesheels 2y agoI 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"
- json_bourne_ 2y agoHey achillesheels, added the 'scene related images' feature. Now users can upload screenshots of the scene.
- fbdab103 2y agoIf nothing else, that significantly changes the backend scale required. You should trivially be able to host (show, timestamp, text) in a SQLite database for a very long time. Expanding to screen caps adds all sorts of complexity: legal rights, consistent resizing, CDNs, EXIF stripping, what if some joker uploads shots of pornography, etc
- seper8 2y agoAll of these things (except the legal part) are trivial. You don't need a cdn, just use s3 or blob storage and put the blob id in the cdn. If you really want, you can use a cdn for responsive images based on screen width.
