Highlights feature #10

People on Twitter and Reddit are always posting highlights from parliaments (most commonly Federal and NSW) to add context to an opinion or hit someone with an epic Ben Shapiro destroyed by facts don't care about your feelings moment. If Legistream had such a feature, one which was easier to use than the official ParlView downloader, and worked for all states/territories, it'd very quickly become the definitive way to share parliamentary content on social media.

E.g legistream.org/highlights/ + md5 hashed timestamp, or just a randomly generated ID.

The server could easily download parliament streams as they happen to a live video format, I think mpg would work, or I can literally clone the M3U8 content to a server-side editor, and make something similar to the Twitch VOD highlight thing. This could be done with something like yt-dlc or streamlink, and a dash of ffmpeg.
