To give an analogy, I use a great bookmarking app to copy videos at timestamp points to play directly from those bookmarks at key/important marks. But that's the internet.
Unfortunately, videos get pulled down all the time.
I was hoping to be able to play downloaded videos at those same types of key points, using VLC, that I can call from either my text editor (it supports hyperlinks, both folder ones and internet ones) or Excel, say, so that I can start cataloguing research via downloaded videos for those very important research videos I can't afford to lose because they're not kept up forever some of them.
Is there a way to call videos from any timestamp in VLC from an external file so that it'll play?
Just as an example, here is a timestamped video I picked out at random and which shows a timestamp at the 1 minute mark:
Code: Select all
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYf0EOOdb2U&start=0h01m00sIf I had a "database" with research sources, sort of like this example for URL but with folder source, instead?
The goal is to achieve similar to the bookmarking I do above, but with a timestamp to a downloaded video in the same folder as the "database". i.e., something along these lines below, if this is even possible with VLC (and putting a relative path here for a video in same folder as "database" via "\\" to show same source folder so that an absolute path isn't used, preferably):
Example of a video timestamped in same folder:
Code: Select all
Superbook theme song - teens <\\Superbook theme song.mp4 &start=0h01m00s>If playing videos at any timestamp is possible with VLC, please let me know. Thank you in advance for any help!
