 Ok who will make a bot posting every frame of Serial Experiments Lain?

#asknostr
#request 
 DOOOOOOT 
 Get code from p lol  
 You are the first to respond so you are obliged to make it 
 So you'll need frames with English subtitles included. Obviously.

Get cracking. 
 like a frame per hour or real-time ? lol

(but pretty sure whatever media upload service used, isn't going to be happy with this) 
 like jaffy’s bot @emperor's new groove 
 dammit this is the one bot he never shared the code for for me to steal 
 pretty sure it's basically two steps:

- run a gstreamer or VLC pipeline to convert the video to a series of images (eg, sample an image, skip N frames, repeat), outputting a directory of jpg/webp images

- then a simple bot that uploads and posts the next image from this queue every so often, remembering where it is
 
 ahh looks like that does about 3-4 posts a day, and captures a frame every few seconds. not literally every frame 😀  not as as i imagined

kinda want to do this for Ergo Proxy now 🙂  
 never watched this- looks cool. 

at-least for Lain it’s like 6 frames per episode 
 I can't think of many 'content bots' on nostr actually. But they can be kind of interesting / fun.

Some avgregated news RSS things
🤔
 
 i have the bitcoin core commit notification bots, not a lot of fun but useful to some

 Doesn't even load for me (probably cos I don't know how to use relays lol)
But yeah beyond my understanding lol but sounds useful.

I think nostr does lack highly shareable fun/ interesting... Content bottery stuff like this generally. It can throw some curious stuff onto a timeline.

I just remember the random internet archive bot too
