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
Nice idea for a very niche audience.
I was wondering Since all movies have subtitles, can't this be done if you give gpt4/chatgpt the whole subtitles and ask it to identify identify the start and stop time in the above subtitles where "The President of the United States meets the X-Men, as they try to convince him to work together against the growing mutant threat". Just a thought.
Just a heads up, I'd recommend you to post this one again as a "Show HN:" with the url in the url field (links in text submissions are not clickable), this may get more traction than the current post.
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.
Great idea. Would it be possible to add links? That way people creating the timestamps could link to YouTube clips that contain the scene with the t= property. Perhaps link multiple.
The homepage has a lot of spoilers for recent TV shows (x-men 97) and recent films, so be careful browsing.
Username checks out.
I wonder is the timestamp canonical? I.e. will it vary based on what crap the streaming service might prefix it with or regional release differences?

Odd choice to host a collection of obviously copyrighted material - knowingly uploaded by non-copyright holders... I'm all for fan-created works, but this isn't that.
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].
