Assume such an circumstance: you build a website with Joomla to sell some videos, like short movie, MTV, or tutorials.
Of course you can choose VirtueMart for Joomla to sell them automatically, when some paid, they can download the video file. You don't need to manually send them a URL or password.
But, don't you want to show some sample of your videos? How about sample for EACH video file?
Since you had already saved those video files on your site, you can use Allvideos plugin to play them. But this plugin will play the whole length of your video file!
Maybe someone say, you can make a small/short sample file to play. This means you will have to produce sample file for EVERY video file.
So, a better idea is, we add a new parameter, named Time, to Allvideos plugin, just specify the start time and end time of the length which is allowed to be played with Allvideos plugin.
For example, we can use syntax such as:
{avi}videos/my-video-file|600|450|Time=00:12:23-01:27:00{/avi}
The new Time parameter will tell the Allvideo plugin to ONLY play the section between 00:12:23 to 01:27:00 . But the same video file may has a length of 60 minutes or 60 hours.
You can save video file in the original format, NOT zip files, so one file is enough for both downloading and sampling play.
If you agree, please add this feature in future version.
Thanks.
