    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.

      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?

            Let me stop you at “the premise.”

            Yeah, it’s definitely a bad episode, but it’s really just a pretty bog standard “new technology goes haywire” Trek episode. It was a good episode for RDM acting-wise, and the makeup effects for Paris’ deterioration were pretty great.
