Time code subtitle track:

Code: Select all

vlc video.mkv --input-slave timecode://

Or you could generate yourself a subtitle file with time codes as a subtitle text.
Then you have "Time" VLC Extension or Marquee subpicture filter with meta-data expansions ($T) in VLC-2.0.x.
Or you could use some software key presser/sender for automatic pressing of the T key. Or put something heavy on your keyboard to keep the T key pressed down

In Windows you can create VLC desktop shortcut icon, edit the target path in its properties (right-click) to append VLC options:

Code: Select all

"...\vlc.exe" --input-slave=timecode:// --sub-track=0

Then use it to start VLC, play a video and the time code subtitle track is available in VLC menu: Subtitle > Sub Track > Track 1
