About WestieClipSearch
WestieClipSearch indexes West Coast Swing performance videos and to find songs and artists across multiple YouTube channels.
What it does
Search by song/artist, browse top content, and open matching performances quickly.
Indexed channels
See the current channel list and stats on the Channels/Stats page. There are a ton of WCS YouTube channels and current selection is a bit random - feel free to suggest which ones to prioritize in the form below.
How matching works
Matches come from YouTube metadata plus audio fingerprint fallback when metadata is missing. This is not always working perfectly, though. Currently, audio fingerprinting is a bit hacky and videos without YouTube metadata are only added slowly.
Limitations
Multi-song videos, loud crowd noise, and incomplete source data can still produce misses, unknowns, or false positives. Live music and less known remixes are oftentimes not detected at all, and long videos can often miss some (or many) songs. Also, if the YouTube channel has multiple songs but only metadata for a subset of them, then it won't run audio fingerprinting, so those other songs will be missed. If you notice any errors, send me feedback.
Feedback
Use “Report missing or wrong song” on video cards/modals to send correction feedback. I'll check those manually once in a while.
