Hi all,
How do I get vlc to start at a specific time in a media file. I can do it easily in mplayer2, mpv but not vlc. Let's say the media file is named abc.avi (file format,container not important for this example.) Also the running time is around 2+ hrs. In mplayer2 and mpv I can simply do :-
And it will start running at that point in time.
In vlc, it also seems to have something at :-
Now I don't understand what the <float> bit. I tried :-
but that didn't work. It's possible that it might be a bug, then again I might not have done it correctly. Can somebody tell if I'm doing it correctly or I should be doing something else ?
