Anyway to limit the duration a video can be played?

[thefctnwelive 0]

Hello,

 

I am wondering if there is a way to limit how long a videos can be played. For example, I want to limit the viewing of all videos in my library to just the first 45 seconds of each video only. Is there anyway to achieve this?

 

Thanks!

Hi, not really, other than stopping it.

Create a script to have ffmpeg do batch process on your library, something like:

ffmpeg -i movie.mkv -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:45 -async 1 /path/to/test/libray/movie.mkv 

Give access to the test library rather than the full library
