# Operator: video-decoder

Author: JunJie Jiang

## Overview



## Interface

```python
__init__(self, start_time=None, end_time=None, sample_type=None, args=None)
```

Args:

- start_time: float
- end_time: float
  decode video [start_time, end_time)

  sample_type:
        uniform_temporal_subsample
        args:
                num_samples: int


```python
__call__(self, video_path: str)
```

Args:

- video_path:
  support local path and http/https url.

Returns:

- Image

## Requirements

## How it works

from towhee import ops

d = ops.video_decode.ffmpeg(start_time=10.0, end_time=20.0, sample_type='uniform_temporal_subsample', args={'num_samples': 10})
for frame in d(video_path):
    print(frame)

result:
Outputs(image=<towhee.types.image.Image object at 0x7fa444776310>, TIMESTAMP=10010)
Outputs(image=<towhee.types.image.Image object at 0x7fa444776700>, TIMESTAMP=11078)
Outputs(image=<towhee.types.image.Image object at 0x7fa444776310>, TIMESTAMP=12145)
