How to easily use the Media-Extended plugin in Obsidian to record timestamp notes?#
- Using local videos
- In any note, write the local video name and the local absolute path in standard Markdown link format
- The format looks like [This is the local video name](This is the local video absolute path)
- Or [This is the local video name](This is the relative path within the local video library)
- Such as This is the local video name
- Press Ctrl and left-click on the local video link simultaneously
- The video will open in a new tab
- Play the video and click the camera icon in the top right corner of the video
- A video note will be automatically created, named
Media Note - Local video name
- And a screenshot and timestamp will be generated at the cursor position
- If you only want to generate a timestamp, you can click the star icon
- Note that you don't need to manually line break, it will automatically line break each time you click to generate a new timestamp
- If you want to directly record timestamps in the current note
- You can directly add YAML information, like
video: file:///f:/local_video_path.mp4
