  are there any technical utilities to achieve these kinds of very specific 'start times'?

  in other words.. it would be neat if there was a VLC/Jellyfin/Kodi plugin (some sort of video player) that you could schedule to start a video, to the second.

    I’m not sure the people who engage in this sort of tomfoolery are concerned with atomic clock-level precision.

    You can use Task Scheduler in windows to run a command to run VLC at a specific time

      You'd have to take load times into account, maybe have VLC open and ready and have task scheduler press the space bar with autohotkey

    You can set up a command line to start VLC using the OS’s built in task scheduler.

    Well, are you wearing 18th century garb and using a weak Irish accent? Cause I may have some bad news for you.

    It is not good.*

    *in my personal, but I think pretty uncontroversial, opinion.

      I love that episode!

      … But… Yeah. It’s not good. It’s kinda great. But not good.

      I used to hate the fairhave episodes but they grew on me, not good but campy

      I started remembering bits after reading the synopsis. It’s whimsical, Leland.

      Normal Voyager not good or Threshold not good?
