How working with network drive?

[lantri]

How to make the program opens the file from a network (readonly) drive, and index files are stored in the local temp folder?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Most likely not! Copy video from network drive to local drive. Process local. All data has to come over anyway.

Program can keep the index files in the temporary folder, different from the folder with the original file?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

no: index files are required in the same folder as the video sits.
It's not recommended to process videos over network

Avidemux is a simple tool for simple video processing tasks. The keyword here is simple: it does not offer tools like a timeline, multitrack editing, you cannot freely move or splice audio and video clips from various sources. However, Avidemux allows you to do elementary things in a very straightforward way.

- Network video editing is not considered a simple video processing task. In my opinion.
- You can make a request to the leading developer. Keep in mind: developing has a huge time deficit.

Thanks for answers.
The problem is this: video is written to a network drive and cut off every hour. from these files need to cut any part. The task is very simple and avidemux fits very well with the exception of the problem described above.

Irrelevant post deleted. Support for loading MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS files from read-only locations, contributed by szlldm, is present in current 2.8.2 nightlies.

Before saying anything, did you try at all?

The software displays an error "Cannot open" if you try to load a .mkv file from another computer via FTP.

This is literally the first thread that shows up when looking for "Avidemux local network folder".

FTP has nothing to do with network folders, the TO didn't mention FTP seven(!) years ago. This topic is about opening MPEG-TS files from read-only locations. This is now possible, albeit in a slightly different way (index is kept in memory instead of writing it to the folder for temporary files). You gravedigged a topic failing to understand what it was about. EOD.
