Ability to open video at specified timecode / timestamp #42

Closed gkertai closed 1 year ago

gkertai commented 2 years ago

Hi, Is there any way to load a video and position the playhead to a particular position (eg. frame number, TC, or timestamp)?

I'd like to do an integration project where I create HTML index pages of videos with points-of-interest that I'd like to link to. I can see that Screen registers a screen-open-url: URI scheme, but I cannot find any documentation of the format. Could that be used for this purpose?

If there's any other way, eg. via command line arguments/options I'd be interested in that too.

Thanks and kind regards, Gábor

On a related note: any command line option or URL parameter to enable/disable barcode generation for the loaded video would be welcome.

And another one (sorry, ideas keep popping up as I work): an option to load a video "in the background", meaning that it loads but does not force itself to be the frontmost tab or bring the app window to the front. This would be super helpful as my background processing jobs complete and load new videos while I keep working with previous ones.
