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

  • Set the hotkeys for
    • Opening the video player (my default is cmnd-shift-y)

    • Playing/pausing video (my default is cntrl-space)
