Feature Request - Set timeout in Options for corrupt videos
Posted: 12 Apr 2020, 01:51
I find that when ripping some old videos, the occassional video (which is presumably corrupt) take 30 minutes or more to crawl through. As a result, a batch like the following takes much longer than it need to.
Video1.mp4 - 10 seconds
Video2.mp4 - 10 seconds
Video3.mp4 - 1800 secondsVideo1.mp4 - 10 seconds
Video4.mp4 - 10 seconds
So, in the above example, a process which should have 40 seconds, takes 1830 seconds!
I suggest therefore that a 'Maximum Rip Time' value be configurable in Options - I would set it to say 30 seconds, in which case the resulting rip time of the above batch would be down to 60 seconds (from 1830 seconds)
Video1.mp4 - 10 seconds
Video2.mp4 - 10 seconds
Video3.mp4 - 30 seconds (limited by timeout)
Video4.mp4 - 10 seconds
If the "Maximum Rip Time" were exceeded, VTM would simply skip the file and move to the next video in the queue.
Thank you.
