Fabien knows... he actually let slip in his thread when he announced his fingerprinting thing and so I took to it to find out. It took me about 8-10months to figure it out, a month to implement and it's been done ever since. Been fingerprinting the tubes since end of october - that's the shitty thing cos it means my script has to actually "watch" the video (even on fast forward), so it takes ages over the internet, which is why it's taking time to fingerprint everything (and a shit load of bandwidth, but that's free atm from my sponsor). ---edit to add, this is what *pisses* me off about Fabien's position. The videos on his tubes are on his server, so it takes no time at all to fingerprint, but he opens it up in the reverse way... Come on fabien, simply open up your fingerprints in an open gesture to be more open....
Anyway, that's all running in the background 24/7 and in the meantime, it's getting all packaged up into a bigger deal. Cos here lies the problem - making a package that everyone can use... if you gave me your collection for example, I can login, install the software and figerprint your collection in what, 24 hours. So that's the idea - make a cms with other stuff I've got (pirate-free streaming, embedded IDs for downloads, embedded IDs for photos etc etc) - all stuff I've got working, just not working for the mass public - so that the end user can use the cms as a cms and all the while in the background can make sure their content isn't on the tubes by simple sending fingerprints of your content to my servers that hold the fingerprints of all the tubes I've crawled, which will let you know if your content is there. Similar idea for the photos, if you remember that project you helped me with on identifying stolen photos...
I found a way to make the impractical, practical. So I'm heading toward that... fairly advanced atm, and it's been a long slog, but it's getting there. The hard work has been done thanks to people like you, robby, dwb who have all helped me hone my skills. Now I just want to get it all packaged together to give something back.
