Hi,
Is it possible to take a few snapshot of movie (video mod)? Or not in the first second movie?
Now it is a little misleading, because most movies have the same initial stage like Universal Pictures etc. |

In order to do that, go to XUpload.pm and search for "mplayer" (there will be several instances).
Add following parameter to mplayer command:

OK, I'll try.
But what happens when I set -ss 00:150 and the movie takes only 5 minutes? Does it work then? |

| No, it will not generate snapshot. That's why it's set to 00:05 by default. |

doesn't need to , the database already has those details
just need to script it smart , that it will take at X% of timeframe ; instead of hardcoding the time value |
