[PLUG] VLC Media Player -- jump to specific time

[wes]

Obligatory reply that doesn't answer your question at all but offers a
possible alternative:

What if you play and pause very quickly? Hitting spacebar twice in a row
should accomplish the same thing. May not be frame perfect, but you could
skip 1 second short of your destination to compensate.
