Subsecond seeking with remote control

Postby Zverik » 10 Mar 2014 16:48

Hi! Is it possible to seek and read time with granularity less than a second using any remote control interface (telnet, rc, web)? For example, in milliseconds or frames? "Seek", "get_time" and "get_length" commands operate in seconds. But for my mapping project seconds are not enough. I've googled similar topics, but all I've found is this one from 2003. Has anything improved in 11 years?

Bumping this thread. I would also like to do this.

Bookmarks in VLC can represent sub-second positions (e.g. 00:02:01.011), so it seems like seek should be able to handle this as well.

If this were possible, VLC bookmarks could be implemented via other interfaces. As it stands now, though, the granularity isn't adequate to, for example, bookmark the beginning of a scene without losing audio.

It seems like this should not be difficult to implement, at least for HTTP.

How about it?
