Video file duration
I would like to retrieve the duration for a video file. Files_GetEditMovieInfo should return this, however I am getting an ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED error for every video file I try. I am calling Files_GetEditMovieInfo in the same way as I call Files_GetMetadata, which works fine.

Re: Video file duration
Hi Steve,
Files_GetEditMovieInfo is an API call associated with video editing, therefore you would get an ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED response if any of the following are true:
you don't have the "Video editing and collaboration module",
the video editor is not enabled (settable by an admin via Configuration > Site Options > Video Settings),
your user has not been enabled for video editing (settable by an admin via Editing Rights > Edit video/audio files).
I can see how it would be ideal to be able to get the duration of a video without needing to be able to edit the video – I have now opened this feature request for consideration for inclusion in a future release.
Best wishes,
Chris
