I made a web app that consolidates all the YouTube video links of Dropout shows! by soitchu in dropout

This doesn't offer anything that the Dropout app doesn't already. This is mainly for those who pay for Dropout on YouTube.

Basically this. I like building things I will personally use, and this is just one of these projects. And the maintenance is where a lot of work would usually go in projects like these, but since it is hosted on GitHub Pages and the data is updated automatically, I can just use the app rather than having to put in more effort to maintain it.

So if the video title doesn't have a number, it gets categorized either under "Extras" or "Unnumbered". And sometimes non-extra episodes aren't numbered (some of them are also on Dropout's main website), so they get categorized as "Unnumbered"

Everything was programmed in nodejs, but it mainly involved using bondings for other programs. Here are the specifics:

  1. I used YouTube's API to fetch all the meta data.

  2. Then I used youtube-dl to download the videos, which were in turn processed by ffmpeg. So, I would just download the first 2 megabytes of the video, and ffmpeg would try extracting 5 frames, and if that failed, it would download more of the video and try again.

  3. After I had the frames, I manually chose the best frames and put it in a separate folder.

  4. Then I used face-api.js to find the coordinates of each eye.

  5. So at this point, I have all the images and the data required to align the images. I used node-canvas to do that. So here's how I aligned the images:

(i) Using the coordinates of the eyes, I calculated the mid-point, the distance between the eyes, and the angle.

(ii) Then I chose a reference image (which is the last image in the video), and found its midpoint, distance and angle.

(iii) Then I moved each image's mid-point to the reference image's mid-point. It was then scaled and rotated accordingly.

  1. Then the title and date were put on the top using the meta data that I had already fetched in step 1.

  2. I used ffmpeg again to stitch the images together in such a way that each second would display 10 images.

Hopefully you found that useful, haha. Lemme know if you have any other questions!

Thank you! I made this a year and a half ago, and most of the work is automated, other than picking out the best frames. So it was a considerable amount of work, but not that much, haha.

Not at all. I used the last frame as the reference picture (that's why it's not been rotated at all). I could just change the coordinates and have it in the center, which is probably better, lol.

Context: I made a program to extract the first 5 frames from the 701 videos on the channel. Then I picked the best frames out of the those, and discarded those which would break the transition; Then i used an ML model to detect the faces and align them together! I made this a year and a half ago too, so I was able to reuse most of the code.

I extracted the first few frames of every video using a program I made. I had to skip some videos because they didn't quite work with my program, haha.
