Set current time to specific time

  • Dear Dean,

    I’m not a programmer, so appologies if this question seems trivial.
    I would like to use your plugin to allow for audio previews of 20 seconds length.

    I know there is a function to set the current time of the mejs player, yet apparently not before starting to play. I would like to know how to set this when using your plugin.

    Would you be so kind as to help me understand how I can modify the plugin such that I can set the playback to 10 seconds after the start and to last for 20 seconds? Or if not possible, to set the current time to 20 seconds before the end time of the track? I don’t want to create a new audio file, as suggested by you in the readme.

    Thank you very much for your help

    Best regards, Gabriel

    Hi Gabriel,
    Thanks for your mail.

    It should be easy to have the player play a fragment of your song provided that you are able to stream the whole track to the users browser. However this makes it possible for the user to grab the entire audio track for free, so if your site is selling music then it is not a good solution.

    To have the server download a playable part of the music track is difficult to accomplish I’m afraid.

    The premium version of https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/music-player-for-woocommerce/ appears to have this functionality although I have never used it.

    Hope that helps
    Dean

    Hello Dean,

    thank you for your reply. Yes, I have had a look at different plugins that create a separate preview track. Yet, I would like to use the player to just play a part of the file, I think the standard user wouldn’t know how to download the entire file (me included), so that would be enough and wouldn’t create yet additional files and take up space.

    Would you be able to tell me how to set the playback to 10 seconds after the start and to last for 20 seconds using your plugin?

    Thank you very much for any help,

    best regards
    Gabriel
