Feature request: Automatic file duration update

[nicoaguero91]

Is there a way to have the duration of a file update automatically, or when resources are refreshed? It would be a good implementation. In my case, every day I render files and the durations change day by day, and to avoid manually changing the file at rundown, that implementation would be great, since many times there are many files.

Hi! This is an interesting use case, thanks for reporting it!
There's no way as of today to achieve this, but I can definitely see the need. I'll change this issue to a Feature Request.

The CLS command that you send to the Caspar server reports the total number of frames of each video, I even tried replacing one file with another with the same name and the value was updated without problems. Continuing on the topic and another suggestion. When updating the frame value of a video, if the "Duration" tab of each video is set to "Full", the timeline should adjust to the updated duration, and if it contains a typed value , stay as is. I have cases of videos that I want to last, for example, 30 seconds, that I would not like to be updated, and I have entered those 30 seconds in the "Duration" tab.

Thank you!

Agreed, that is how I'm envisioning how it should work too!
