Description: This extension is a fully revisited version of the original "Moments Tracker" by ARahman Rashed (https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154020/). The extension was designed to store "moments" - ie freely named bookmarks in a currently playing medium - for later reviews.
This revisited version adds functions and displays : - time line ordered display of moments, exportable to text file - options at medium level (select name / enter a new name / rename / delete) - freedom to close the extension window / reactivate the extension (VLC Menu/View)
This version keeps the internal structure of the original moments_tracker.txt file. This moments_tracker.txt file is created by the extension, as a "database" containing your registered media names with their moments and checkpoints.
Exactly what I'm looking for!
Is there a way to have a separate .xspf file for each video I track? I want to be able to use the .xspf files independent of the add-on in the future
Yes ! When you "Export moments" with "playlist" checked, the extension writes the bookmarks of the current video into the Memos.xspf file, or adds them into this xspf file if already existing. So, the simple way to create an xpf file for each video is by renaming the Memos.xspf file after each creation (but keeping the .xspf extension). You can use the xspf files independtly from the extension.
Addendum.
1/ "bookmarks" in the above message means "moments created by the extension", as shown in the Moments extension window.
2/ An xspf file contains physical links to video (or sound) files. Consequently, the xspf "mechanics" won't work if any of the linked files was moved after the creation of the xspf file.
The extension is a self contained one.
You can download it from the Files tab, along with the documentation files.
The LUA code of the extension is in the Moments_tracker_rev.lua file.
It can be directly edited in any text editor.
Hello,
Is there any way to contact directly with you? I'd need a very similar program and I could pay you for it. You could publish it here as well (Open source). Please indicate me a way to contact you. Thank you.

Is there a public repo of this add-on ? I'd like fork it and play with the code a bit.

Thank you for your appreciation, but I am presently a fulltime retired programmer, this explains why I did not provide info how to contact me.
Thank you for answering anyways. Enjoy your fulltime retirement.
