I have some .MP4 files
When I want to display them, I create a html video tav and point to this mp4.
Sometimes I would like to broadcast only part of the video.
Ex: The video has 10min. But I want to display in the player only the 9th minute until the 10th. After that the video ends.
Is there any way I can do this via PHP? Upload only part of it?
One suggestion is to generate a new video containing just the snippet of interest.
In the example below we used ffmpeg :
// Tempo em segundos
$ini = 540; // início (9 minutos)
$end = 600; // fim (10 minutos)
$original_file = '/local/arquivo/video.mp4';
$new_file = '/local/arquivo/video_short.mp4';
// Local do ffmpeg
$lib_path = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg';
// Formatando o comando
$cmd = $lib_path.' -i '.$original_file.'
-ss '.$ini.'
-t '.$end.'
'.$new_file;
// Executa o comando
exec($cmd);
