Video Player That Shows Milliseconds

Question

Is there a video player for Linux that shows the milliseconds of time elapsed?

There's an extension for VLC, but according to comments at the link it doesn't work with newer versions.

You could try `avidemux` (with `gtk` or `qt` interface). – don_crissti Dec 18 '14 at 00:56 — don_crissti, Dec 18 '14 at 00:56

mplayer should be able to do that:

mplayer -osdlevel 3 -osd-fractions 1 filename

see manual for details on the parameters:

-osd-fractions <0-2>
       Set how fractions of seconds of the current timestamp are printed on the OSD:
          0    Do not display fractions (default).
          1    Show the first two decimals.
          2    Show  approximated  frame count within current second.  This frame count is
               not accurate but only an approximation.  For variable fps,  the  approxima‐
               tion is known to be far off the correct frame count.

tested with mplayer 1.3.0.

SMPlayer.

In status bar:

Options -> Statusbar

Show the current time with milliseconds

OSD (on screen display):

View -> OSD

Show times with milliseconds
Volume + Seek + Timer

For OSD it can need to install mpv. Activate mpv in SMPlayer here:
Options - Preferences - General - Multimedia engine - mpv

There is a VLC extension known as the time extension, it only works on VLC v2.0.x. You can check the tutorial here http://www.latestsolution.com/2016/06/Show-VLC-Timing-In-Millisecond.html
