make movie preview seconds in video file configurable

Make it so that the second mark where ffmpeg extracts the tumbnail is an configurable option.
A lot of video files have the same intro or just start black for 5sec so the tumbnails are useless this way.

Hello,

you are posting to the development forum. This is intended to be used if you wanted to start developing yourself. So, is this what you are after? What is your question exactly?

Yeah sorry maybe wrong place it is a little bit a feature request but also for some extra information.

I tried changing the seconds value from 5 to 30 in lib/private/Preview/Movie.php

$result = $this->generateThumbNail($maxX, $maxY, $absPath, 5);

And regenerating al the previews but I don’t see any changes.

I don’t have any experience with web development so I don’t really know if I need to recompile the code.

Install is directly on ubuntu server with apache

Some help is always welcom but i do not gave enoug experience to make tis a configurable parameter in config.php which would be a nice feature.

If I want to make a feature request to make the preview generation timestamp in a video a configurable parameter should I make a new post somewhere else on the forum and then this one gets closed or should this post be moved.
