HTML5 video - playing only a portion of a video
html, partial, video
Solution
Even though this question has already been marked as answered, here's something that may interest you and anyone else who stumbles across here: Specifying playback range.
It's part of the Media Fragment API and currently works in the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari 6+.
Problem
Is there some straightforward technique to play only a certain part of a HTML5 video? For example in a 30 second clip I would like to play only the part 5-20 sec. Additionally the rest of the video should not be accessible from the UI at all (meaning the video timeline should only show the 5-20 sec part). I've been going through some HTML5 video players but none of them seem to be supporting this kind of functionality. If anyone knows a (good) way to implement this feature please give me a hint. Thanks in advance!
