Description
For video files that have the same intro, the same pictogram is always generated. The possibility to postpone the start time by 0-60 seconds via config, for example, would create different images.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the video preview generation entry point and its configuration handling, then determine where the preview start time is selected. Done means a configurable 0–60-second offset changes the generated preview image for otherwise identical videos.
