A community plugin for Obsidian that allows for the playing of a video in Obsidian’s sidebar and the insertion of timestamps into a note with a hotkey. It has the additional feature of allowing you to navigate to a timestamp by clicking on the timestamp in the note.
The following is copied directly from the Obsidian Timestamp Notes Github repo:
Usage
- Highlight a video url and use the ‘Open Video Player’ hotkey or press your designated hotkey to select a local video to play (no need to highlight text for local videos)
- Jot down notes and anytime you want to insert a timestamp, press the registered hotkey
- Toggle pausing/playing the video by using hotkey (my default is option space)
- Open videos at the timestamp you left off on (this is reset if plugin is disabled)
- Close the player by right-clicking the icon above the video player and selecting close
Setup
- Download and enable the plugin
- Set the hotkeys for
- Opening the video player (my default is cmnd-shift-y)
