Get position in media

[bohk]

Hello

Im using VLC for a project: I have to get the time of some events in video files. Problem = there are a lot of events and files, and writing times manually is probably the worst thing ever (e.g. '01:27:53' is already a pain, but x4000, it's a complete nightmare).

So I was wondering if I could get it, somehow, automatically with VLC. Like if I click on something, it will remember it and either a. store it in a text file (Im probably dreaming), or b. at least store it in the clipboard so I can paste it easily.

I saw that a function get.position() exists, but you have to go through command lines and Im not very good at it.

Any idea?

Thanks!

(in case it'd matter, despite the fact that it's supposed to be non-OS related, I run MacOSX 10.6...)

You could probably write a VLC addon in lua to do it. Check around http://addons.videolan.org/ , there may or may not be one already.
