| Ahh you found it! No machine learning at the moment, just using the Twitch clips api. Machine learning would be very helpful for some problems however, specifically to weed out clips in which the broadcaster specified the incorrect game. You're right about offering the service to the streamers - that's definitely the way to go to make a business out of it and it's something I've considered. However, I was mostly interested in doing the project for fun, and for some passive income, and making it a service would definitely not be passive. The clips API returns language information about the clips, which you can use to filter them. Before that, I had to manually maintain a blacklist of non-English streamers. I do monthly highlight videos, but they're solely based on clip views on Twitch - it doesn't use YouTube analytics, which I'm sure would improve the videos. It is a cool idea to include chat - another thing I've considered but haven't implemented, though I've noticed some Twitch highlight channels (that do manually edited videos) do it. Thanks for the link to the downloader. The links at the end of the videos are tricky - there's no api for that, so currently they're populated by a Firefox macro on a desktop that's supposed to be run every day - looks like there's an issue with it running! The better version would be to use a webscraper or headless browser to automate those clicks via the render server. That's what I'm supposed to be working on next, in fact... |
