    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’d have to run a few tests to figure out how long it takes to start and open the file, though - there will definitely be a delay

        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.
