Description:

Time is VLC Extension that displays running time on the screen in a playing video.
(Extension script "time_ext.lua" + Interface script "time_intf.lua")
Features:
- supported tags: [E], [Efps], [D], [R], [T], [O], [P], [n], [_];
- 9 possible positions on the screen;
- elapsed time with milliseconds;
- playback speed rate taken into account for duration time;

Time v3.1+ (intf)
Simple instructions:
1) "time_ext.lua" > Copy the VLC Extension Lua script file into \lua\extensions\ folder;
2) "time_intf.lua" > Copy the VLC Interface Lua script file into \lua\intf\ folder;
3) Start the Extension in VLC menu and configure the Time interface to your liking:
- Windows/Linux: "View > Time v3.x (intf)";
- Mac OS: "Vlc > Extensions > Time v3.x (intf)".

Alternative activation of the Interface script:
* The Interface script can be activated from the CLI (batch script or desktop shortcut icon):
vlc.exe --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=time_intf
* VLC preferences for automatic activation of the Interface script:
Tools > Preferences > Show settings=All > Interface >
> Main interfaces: Extra interface modules [luaintf]
> Main interfaces > Lua: Lua interface

Lua 5.1! like in VLC-32bit for Windows (later I will fix it for Lua 5.2/5.3)
INSTALLATION location \lua\extensions\ for an Extension script (Create directory if it does not exist! Then Interface script in \lua\intf\):
* Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
* Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions\
* Linux (all users): /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
* Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
* Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
* Mac OS X (current user): /Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/

Can anyone show me how to edit the script for version 3.2 to display the time in 12 hour format (AM/PM) instead of the current 24 hour format for "[T] actual time" and "[O] time when video will be over"?

any chance to add an improvement by saving the time to a log file? It would be intersting to have a shortcut key that saves the elapsed time, this could be helpful for note taking, or for creating cue files for splitting

Even without a button, it should be very helpful to be able to log the time to a file, it was easy on the old extension (not sure about the new standard). After that I can work with something like autohotkey.

You can have a button in a dialog box window to log the time in a file. I can provide that piece of code for another VLC Extension: Jump to time (Previous frame). Then you can try to use Autohotkey helper to press that button. I have already instructed a user in comments how to copy the time to clipboard and so it can go to a file, too. If you are interested then write a brief comment on Jump to time page.

I left a message on the forum...not sure if you saw it. Love this plugin. Can you change the Elapsed_Time [E] to reflect changes in the playback speed of videos? Or make another entry [E2] or something? I've been modifying the file for my purposes, but that would be a big help for future versions or even now when I need to download this plugin for another computer. Thanks again.

If it is the Lua interpreter version problem, then you could try to fix the script ("load" instead of "loadstring") or better use Lua 5.1 library like in VLC for Windows (5.1.4). I am not Linux user, so do not ask me how to. Try to check the Lua version. Please try to find a solution and let me know it.

I've installed vlc from snap and made a lua folder and copied extension in this folder and it works now. Previous i had the latest vlc from comunity store. So it was version problem maybe. I'm happy that it works now. I'm wondering if it is possible to change the size of the font, different than subtitle. Thank you!

Is it possible to format the colour, size, opacity and background of the output without affecting the subtitles?

You could use marquee filter in VLC. Please find my reply to frob (on the next page of older comments here).
