Video Player Dynamic Start/End time

[evanjhoffman]

Hi, I am looking for the best way to create a dynamic start/end point using the New Video Player plugin. I have created a clunky work around and wanted to see if there is a better way.

The goal is to break videos into scenes, by setting a start point and end point. I have the time stamps in a database for each scene and a repeating group with a ‘New Video Player’ for each scene.

Currently, I have set up a workflow that once a custom play button is clicked ‘Set playback position of New Video Player’ > ‘Play New Video Player’ >workflow checks the videos current position and if greater than the stop position it pauses the Video Player, if not wait 1 second and check again… and so on…

Ideally I would be able to set the start and end point using a dynamic field in the editor. (image mock up attached). If that is not possible would your team have a suggestion for a cleaner workflow for this?

Thank you!

Hello @evanjhoffman,

Thank you for your message.

Sorry for any misunderstanding in the previous forum thread. I appreciate your suggestion for improving the features of the plugin.

We will discuss the possibility of adding new fields to the plugin element with our team. In the meantime, you can use the plugin’s “Action Set Playback position” to specify the time from which the video should start.

Rest assured, if there are any updates regarding this request, I will promptly inform you. However, please keep in mind that we are unable to provide specific timeframes as this feature request currently holds a low priority.

Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you have a wonderful day ahead.

Regards,

Understood. Thank you for the response.

Please keep me posted if this feature does eventually get added.

Kindly read the description of each input field in the plugin element.
