Bookmarks to file?

Universal32 · Postby **Universal32** » 05 May 2020 06:58

Hello everyone, please help, I'm looking for a plugin or tool with which I can create something like bookmarks, but I need to save them to a text file.
For example, there is video video.mp4, in it I want to quickly mark some parts when viewing it, for example 00:01:50, 00:05:00, 00:10:34, etc. And i need it to be saved in a file:

video.txt:

Code: Select all

00:01:50
00:05:00
00:10:34

Hi,

Maybe you can try this extension: https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154020/

time seems to be saved to:
userdatadir().."/moments_tracker.txt"

Thanks, I saw this plugin earlier. Well, now I shortened it a little and changed it (now it is saved only in seconds). But my programming skills are not enough, so I ask for your help. I need that every time click on the "Time" button, the text document will save +1 position. Now he is just updating the first line.
I can make a donation if you want.

Code: Select all

 function descriptor()
    return {
       title = "Moments Tracker",
       version = "1.0",
       author = "ARahman Rashed",
       url = 'http://aur-tech.blogspot.com',
       shortdesc = "Bookmark your moments",
       description = "",
       capabilities = {"menu", "input-listener", "meta-listener", "playing-listener"}
    }
 end

 -------------- Global variables -------------
 checkpoints = {}
 moments = {}
 -- holds checkpoints' metadata (date,time,etc..)
 checkpoints_meta = {}
 -- path to the file where checkpoints and moments are saved
 destination = nil
 media_name = nil
-----------------------------------------------
 

 -- helper function to copy array elements by value
 function shallow_copy(t) 
   local t2 = {}
   for k,v in pairs(t) do
     t2[k] = v
   end
   return t2
 end
 
 function get_media_meta()
  input = vlc.object.input()
  media_name = vlc.input.item():name()
 end

 function display_error_box()
 error_dialog = vlc.dialog("As if life isn't harsh enough")
 error_dialog:add_label("Ummm..please open a media file before switching on the extension and restart VLC")
 end

 function activate()
  vlc.msg.dbg(vlc.config.userdatadir())
  if pcall(get_media_meta) then
   get_media_meta() 
   destination = vlc.config.userdatadir().."/moments_tracker.txt"
   load_checkpoints_moments() 
   createGUI()
   display_moments()
  else display_error_box()
  end
 end

 function createGUI()
   main_layout = vlc.dialog("Moments tracker")
   main_layout:add_label("<hr>",1,6,5,1)
   main_layout:add_label("<b>Track Checkpoints :</b>")
   checkpoint_l = main_layout:add_label("",2,7)
   display_checkpoint_data() 
   mark_position_b = main_layout:add_button(" Time! ", mark_position, 1,8,1,1)
 end

function display_checkpoint_data()
if checkpoints_meta[media_name][1]~=nil then

  for line in file:lines() do
    if line ~= nil then
     if i%2 == 0 then -- parse checkpoints  
       for k,v,ch1,ch2 in string.gmatch(line,"(%w.+)~(%w.+)~(%w.+)~(%w.+)") do
         checkpoints[k] = v
         temp_name = k
		 checkpoints_meta[k] = {}

        end

        end 
	  moments[temp_name] = shallow_copy(temp_moments)
 	  temp_moments = {}
     end 
    end 
   i = i+1
  end 
 else 
      file = io.open(destination,"w")
	  file:write("")
	  file:close()
  end
  vlc.msg.dbg("created checkpoints_meta")
end

 function mark_position()
   checkpoints[media_name] = vlc.var.get(input,"position")
   checkpoints_meta[media_name][1] = os.date("%d/%m/%Y")
   checkpoints_meta[media_name][2] = format_time(vlc.var.get(input,"time"))
   display_checkpoint_data()
   save_checkpoints_moments(checkpoints)
  end

 
 function format_time(s)
local seconds = s/1000000
return string.format("%02d",seconds)
 end

moments_tracker.txt should have for example:

Code: Select all

5;46;75;156;300;479;633;

or

Code: Select all
