A way to limit video length/A way to edit start and end times for the video (i.g. 01:22-12:30)

[MESAresearch]

I'm trying to prevent users from being able to upload videos that have like a 10 hour long length so as to not bog up my servers. I can't seem to find anything about this on the docs or when searching online. Is this not a feature yet?

Also being able to edit start and end times to clip the video would be nice. I of course know that's possible with ffmpeg but if it could be done more efficiently at the beginning so that actually only the clipped portion of the video is captured/downloaded by the YouTube-mp3-downloader package. Thanks

I'm open to contributions / PRs, feel free to add this functionality

i thought u need this one , but u need to install ytdl globally with npm i -g ytdl

ytdl.getInfo("ID").then(info => {
if (info.length_seconds > 3000){
console.log("file is too big");
}else{
///

}

any solution?

My code for 10 minutes

var YoutubeMp3Downloader = require("youtube-mp3-downloader");
var ffmpeg = require('@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg');
var ytdl = require('ytdl-core');

//Configure YoutubeMp3Downloader with your settings
var YD = new YoutubeMp3Downloader({
    "ffmpegPath": ffmpeg.path, // FFmpeg binary location
    "outputPath": "./youtube_mp3/mp3", // Output file location (default: the home directory)
    "youtubeVideoQuality": "highestaudio", // Desired video quality (default: highestaudio)
    "queueParallelism": 2, // Download parallelism (default: 1)
    "progressTimeout": 2000, // Interval in ms for the progress reports (default: 1000)
    "allowWebm": false // Enable download from WebM sources (default: false)
});

let url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwJbRV_SSAk&t=35s";
url = url.replace('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=', '');
url = url.replace('https://youtu.be/', '');
url = url.substring(0, url.lastIndexOf('&'));

try {
    ytdl.getInfo(url).then(info => {
        console.log(info);
        if (info.lengthSeconds > 600) {
            console.log("file is too big");
        } else {
            console.log("e.e");
        }
    });
} catch (e) {
    console.log("La URL no existe");
}

for getting video id , you just set the regex like this

var videoid = url.match(/(?:https?:\/{2})?(?:w{3}\.)?youtu(?:be)?\.(?:com|be)(?:\/watch\?v=|\/)([^\s&]+)/);

console.log(videoid[1]);

Idk what happened but for some reason now it only converts the first 10 seconds of videos into audio?? Is anyone else getting this problem

nope , send your coding on here

Oh wait nvm. Think it was just a problem with my server I guess because it works now

[MESAresearch]

Yeah wait actually. I still am getting the 10 second problem. But for me it only occurs for certain videos. Is this happening to anyone else? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuO4_P_8p-Q

function youtube_parser(url){
var regExp = /^.((youtu.be/)|(v/)|(/u/\w/)|(embed/)|(watch?))??v?=?([^#&?]).*/;
var match = url.match(regExp);
return (match&&match[7].length==11)? match[7] : false;
}

        var isTooLong;

        ytdl.getInfo(youtube_parser(ytAudioURL)).then(info => { //checking yt video length 
          if (info.videoDetails.lengthSeconds > 600){
            console.log('cannot convert videos longer than 10min to audio');
            isTooLong = true;
          }



          if(!isTooLong){
            var YD = new YoutubeMp3Downloader({
              "ffmpegPath": "../../../usr/bin/ffmpeg",        // FFmpeg binary location

            //Download video and save as MP3 file
            YD.download(youtube_parser(ytAudioURL));
            
            YD.on("finished", function(err, data) {
                var ytAudFileName = data.videoTitle + '.mp3';
                postModel.findOneAndUpdate({postNumber:counted},{mp3File:ytAudFileName},function(err,doc){
                  if (err) {
                    throw err;
                  }
                  console.log('youtube mp3 file '+ytAudFileName+' has been saved to folder: '+folder);
                  console.log(doc);
                });
        
            });
          } //YT download is in callback so as to wait for the verdict on if isTooLong is true or not


        });



        here's my code
