Cold open

happykitt3n opened this issue · comments

Most shows have a cold open, theres no way anyone could use this if we can't specify the start and end point within each file.

What do you mean by a 'cold open'?

theres no way anyone could use this

The example gif shows how it can be used for shows that have a consistent start/end credit length, myself and others use it a lot with this setup.

After some Googling it appears that a 'cold open' seems to imply the following video structure:

  1. Cold open
  2. Intro
  3. Video
  4. Outro

I think to support this, we would need to need to effectively split up each child when iterating the playlist children in order to represent the 'cold open' as a separate child, upon which we call enqueue.

We'd then start the video at the timestamp calculated by the cold open duration + the intro duration, and enqueue it as we already do.

@happykitt3n would you like to submit a PR for this change?
