Feature request: provide exact date/time capturing #2

Open gnusupport opened 1 year ago

It will be useful to provide function which can return exact date and time of video being played.

Then such function can serve to other packages such as Org, Hyperscope, eev, etc. to create hyperlinks to video at exact time.

mpv package has such feature.

exact date and time of video being played.

Did you mean the duration of video which is playing in VLC? If so, try this

(seconds-to-string
 (alist-get 'time
            (vlc--get "/requests/status.json")))
;; => "3.37m"

mpv package has such feature

I've not used the package and I don't think I understand the feature.
