I want to get the current time of vlc on to clipboard. The following is an extension for this purpose.
I am new to LUA.
This extension is modified based on Time.

Many thanks to lubozle.

Putting this simple extension here, I hope those who is not familiar with LUA can get something from it.
Also, if there is any bug with this extension, you are welcomed to point it out.

I use
Code: Select all
strCmd = 'echo '..var..' |clip'
os.execute(strCmd)
Code: Select all
-- Time2Clip.lua -- VLC extension --
--[[
INSTALLATION:
Put the file in the VLC subdir /lua/extensions, by default:
* Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
Restart the VLC.
Then you simply use the extension by going to the "View" menu and selecting it.
