VLC video source.
You must prepare video file with correct length (20 sec, 30 sec etc.).

Thanks!
Tomasz,
What I need to do, is to automatically start video B 20 seconds after Video A has started, regardless of the duration of said videos. I need a kind of timeline sequence... From what you said, I deduct that it is possible to make a sequence of videos (one is played and when is done, the other starts). Am I right?. If so, how this can be achieved?

I use Advanced Scene Switcher and change scenes (with video in the scene) and you can do that based on a timed sequence. What that wouldnt' give you though is both videos playing at same time

I use the OBS native Media Player (not VLC) so can't comment o other video players
Using OBS native media player, a video wouldn't continue seamlessly when switching scenes (leave scene, video ends, new scene, start video over (or whatever set to)
You need to be more clear on what you are trying to accomplish to give advice
You wrote " to make media2.mp4 to start playing after 20 sec media1.mp4 started and then, 30 sec later, start media3.mp4? "
What is unclear is if you want all 3 media to be visible at same time? OR when Media 2 starts, is Media 1 ended (etc)?

Thanks and sorry for not explain clearly. What I need to achieve is a mixed recording, so YES, at some point in time, all the three videos will be playing simultaneously.
In other words:
Media1.mp4 starts -> 20 sec elapse -> Media2.mp4 starts and from this instance on, both Media1 and Media2 will be playing
After 30 sec elapsed (meaning 50 sec from the beginning) Media3 starts. At this point, the three videos will be playing.
Additional Question: Would it be possible to start a video in certain point (for example, in second 25 instead of from the beginning?
Thanks!

Using the OBS native Media player (as of v25.0.8 and I don't think this aspect changed with v26)
- for multiple videos to be playing at same time, have to be in same scene
- Native controls, when switching into scene, don't allow starting at anything other than beginning. Now using native Media Player, you could be in scene, play video and pause at specified points, then start them... but I don't know a timing automation for that (not a use case I've researched or come across)
What you are likely to hear is to edit the video and crop out the beginning part you don't want (and/or copy & edit) so you aren't looking at starting mid video... there are free editors that will trim video without re-encoding (so no loss of quality)
sorry I can't be of more help. hopefully someone else will chime in now that you've clarified the use case
