I used dejavu for a college project with some classmates. We made an app called JamJar which stitches concert videos together based on audio fingerprints. It worked super well! We've neglected the app for a few months now, but you can still check it out at http://projectjamjar.com

Huge thanks to Deja-Vu! Awesome library

Hey! Creator here. That's so cool to see! I made Dejavu as a fun side project in grad school, and it's super fun to see all the cool stuff people make with it.

I get a couple emails a week about it, but probably the weirdest/coolest was a guy in Spain who used Dejavu to make two rap-dueling robots who spoke in Basque.

Hey, I wanted to thank you personally, too. As far as I know, yours is the only completely open source implementation of the “shazam algorithm”, and it helped me a lot during my thesis work. The blog post was also great.

Actually, I encourage anyone interested to look up Panako[1], which is meant to be a framework for comparison of different audio fingerprinting techniques.

Oh very cool! It looks like this runs in realtime as well?

Wow that is such an awesome idea! Well executed too. One small bit of feedback: the video player seems to 'forget' your audio setting when you switch to a different recording. Might not be worth fixing, but just in case you weren't aware...

BTW, site projectjamjar.com crashed my firefox 49.0.1 (Linux) every time I tried to open it.

it loads the page fine, but two seconds after that it crashes

hah, indeed (I can reproduce it here as well). It would be interesting to report it to Firefox
