FFmpeg ss, t, and to options don't work

[Louk]

I want to play a video using the media source object and I want it to start playing after certain amount of time, like e.g. 5 minutes. Sadly enough, there is no option on position slider to mark a cut in or an cut out point in the video, but I found an option in the properties of the object that allows you to set additional FFmpeg options:

However, this does not work. Even though there are no errors in the log file, the video starts playing at start end stops at the end.

I've installed the full FFmpeg V6.0 package on my system and tried this with FFplay and that works as expected with the same video.

Now I wonder: Why doesn't this work? Do I need to install additional software, like a plugin to get this working with OBS?

That fields is for protocol / decoder / demuxer options. ss and t are command line options, OBS uses libav directly and does not use invoke a command line.

Thanks. I''ll take a look at the documentation; that may take a while ;)
