Hey everyone! I’m wondering if anyone knows of a Telegram bot that can help me get specific clips from movies. Here’s what I’m hoping it can do:
- I’d provide it with a movie title and a timestamp.
- The bot would extract that exact clip from the movie.
- It would send the clip back to me on Telegram.
Does something like this exist? I’ve been searching high and low but haven’t found anything that fits the bill. It would be great for sharing interesting scenes and quick movie references with friends.
If there isn’t a bot like this available, do you think it might be possible to create one? I’m not a programmer myself, but the idea excites me. Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!
hey there bellagarcia, i actually tried making somthing like that before. its tricky cause of copyright stuff. maybe look into video editing bots instead? they might let u clip stuff u already have. good luck finding what ur looking for!
As someone who’s dabbled in bot development, I can tell you that creating a Telegram bot for movie clip extraction is a bit of a minefield. I once tried something similar for a personal project, and let me tell you, the legal issues are no joke.
Instead of extracting clips directly, you might want to look into a bot that can generate shareable timestamps for streaming services. I’ve seen a few of these floating around, and they’re pretty nifty. You just send the movie title, timestamp, and streaming service, and it spits out a link that takes your friends right to that moment in the film.
It’s not exactly what you’re after, but it’s a lot less likely to get you in hot water with copyright laws. Plus, it’s actually doable without needing access to a massive library of movies. Just my two cents based on what I’ve learned the hard way!
I’ve explored this concept before, and it’s quite challenging to implement due to legal constraints. Movie clips are protected by copyright, making automated extraction problematic. A potential workaround could be developing a bot that interfaces with legitimate streaming services’ APIs, if they offer such functionality. However, this would likely require user authentication and possibly paid subscriptions. Alternatively, you might consider a bot that helps users manually record their screens during specific timestamps. This approach sidesteps direct content extraction but still enables sharing of short clips. Keep in mind that even this method may have legal implications depending on your jurisdiction and intended use.
