Using the Media Timer
---------------------
The media timer is used when you have a media file in your service manager and you
would like it to start and/or stop at a specified time. The media timer is only
available when you are using Phonon as your default player. Please check your
media configuration here :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP --> Media`.
Configure your player using Phonon with these instructions. :ref:`media_configure`.
After adding your media file to the :ref:`creating_service` you can mouseover
your file and the popup will show you the play time "Length" in hours, minutes
and seconds.

**Item Start and Finish Time**

Change the hours, minutes and seconds to the times you want your video to begin
and end. When you are finished click :guilabel:`Ok` to save your changes or
:guilabel:`Cancel` to leave the times as they were originally. When you display
your media live it will start and stop with the times you configured.
