Get video duration programmatically

[jelum 36]

How can I get video duration executing internal (from the mediabrowser.server.core nuget) interfaces?

To run ffmpeg I use IFfmpegManager, but I didn't find a manager for ffprobe (the most obvious solution).

            var durationSec = (await _mediaProbeManager.GetMediaInfo(new MediaInfoRequest()
                    {
                        MediaType = DlnaProfileType.Video,
                        ExtractChapters = false,
                        MediaSource = new MediaSourceInfo()
                        {
                            Protocol = MediaProtocol.File,
                            Path = filePath,
                            Type = MediaSourceType.Default,
                            IsRemote = false
                        }
                    }, cancellationToken)
                ).RunTimeTicks / 10_000_000;

Hi, what is filePath from? This code will run ffprobe. If you already have an item from the server database then you should just use the database value and avoid probing the media file directly.

I'm adding a source for a new stream in the channel, but I want to add files shorter than X min only. The source is not in the system yet.
