If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight (mastodon.social)

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 mean nerds? Because I'm pretty sure there are.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When you're logical, you're logical.

Logical Tomfoolery sounds like the title of a nerdcore rap album.

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

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

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

[–] bigbluealien@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Use a clock.

[–] brianorca@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

Why don't I remember this episode?

[–] ummthatguy@startrek.website 14 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 9 points 11 months ago (4 children)

It is not good.*

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

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I love that episode!

... But.... Yeah. It's not good. It's kinda great. But not good.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It is not good.*

Normal Voyager not good or Threshold not good?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

What?? Uh...somewhere in between.

[–] LackingGravitas@startrek.website 15 points 11 months ago

Happy Moo Year!

Despicable. I was reliably informed Harry lasted 22 minutes.

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Alright. Who actually did this? Time to come clean.
