Crazy busy-looping blocking the CPU is a bad thing. There is even a watchdog implemented in extensions. Just check the whole story about looking for solutions in forum topic about Time. Do you have a hint how and what exactly to search to find this timer? I already searched, but didn't find it unfo...

Re: [Extension] Time

I wouldn't have much expectations :( - Hotkey is not possible as I read, since v2.something. I would love to have some too. It is asked several times here in the forum. - recurring action of the script seems neither possible, I tried a loop but it runs only one time. I guess such things are blocked....

Re: Remaining time in playlist

I have the same issue, remaining time of the total playlist is not anywhere.
I am on Mac OS 10.11.6, I tried VLC 4 nightly but this is still unusable and neither can I find the remaining playlist time :(

Is there maybe another media player who can do that?

Re: Adjust subtitle file while watching

You already have that in VLC.
Maybe in the Windows Version? Maybe in a alpha version? But surely not in the 3.0.4 for Mac. No way to write the subtitle changes to the srt-file.

I have never found that anywhere in VLC. There is nothing in the menu, neither in the help about writing the changes to the file.
