I am currently using react-native-image-picker to allow a user to select a video from their gallery. I am trying to disallow them from uploading a video that is greater than 'X' number of seconds. Is there anyway to programmatically retrieve the duration of the video, or is there another library that can be used to select videos from the camera roll that will provide all the information for the media object as well?

We are developing application such as Tiktok where we are using Flatlist to list videos and using react-native-video library to display videos.
Now, whenever our video is big such as 50 MB or 100 MB, react-native-video is taking too much time to load video.
How can we apply range request to MP4 video within react-natice-video to get chunk of MP4 file rather than getting whole video.
In backend we are using AWS Cloudfront and it supports range request for MP4 videos.
react-native-track-player doesn't return the duration of the music, so I need some other way to get it.
I tried to use react-native-get-mp3-duration, mp3-duration, but what I want is the duration of the online file, not the local file, so I am having a problem.
I have figured out how to upload photos to my app using expo-image-picker, but want to give users the option to take a photo in real time, and upload it into the app using expo-camera.
It may also be worth noting that I am on iOS.
I am using react-native-video to stream video in my app. The video starts with paused state.
From onLoadStart and onLoad event i see the video is started to load automatically even though it is paused. These videos are fetched from an URL, not in the assets of the app.
When i have multiple files in one screen it will take too much space in mobile. I want to keep space taken to minimal.
So i want to load files only if it is played by user by clicking the play button.
Is there a way to specify not to autoload files?
I am using the Python SDK to upload videos on dmcloud.net.
Now I want to give the user of my application the possibility to choose a thumbnail to the video he uploaded. How can I generate different thumbnails from an uploaded video on dmcloud.net.
Thanks.
Through the SDK, you can update the video thumbnail using the set_thumbnail method of the Media API. You have two options:
Specify a URL to a new thumbnail
Specify a timecode, which is a time offset within the video
For your end-users, provide a way to let them specify a URL or an offset (verify it's an offset that's appropriate for the video's duration). If you're using a custom player, you can probably let them choose an offset visually by pausing the player on their frame of choice and then extracting a time offset from your player for the dmcloud API call.
If you choose to set a thumbnail by timecode (offset), the SDK call would look like this:
cloudkey.media.set_thumbnail(id, timecode)
