Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE

I would like to get the duration of a file before it finished downloading, is that already somehow possible by piping, or if I put ffprobe as external downloader?
I think the best would be to get the duration from the same stream as it's downloading, since it would decrease requests to the server.

There is no duration in metadata for every hoster.
