TV Show Telegram Bot

This creates a TV Show script database(sqlite) with timestamps using .srt files. If you order your .srt files by episode number subtitle_to_database.py will create a 2-table relational database for you. The name of the .srt files will be inserted into episode_id table.

Then you can create your own Telegram bot using this database. All telegram bot source code is in the /telegram folder. Don't forget to create your own telegram bot token via BotFather

You can also use the English .srt database created for my favorite show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

When a user types /line [Line from the show] the bot will find that line in the show and it will return with season, episode number, episode name, exact time from the discussion and a url to stream that particular episode.

If you woud like to use sqlite FTS5 features such as full-text search use the lines virtual table. Otherwise you can use the subtitle table.

You are all set after you add your token here.
