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

[Tomas Kuchta]

I chip in with yet another, possibly useless, indirect solution.

I do this sort of thing in ffmpeg or kdenlive for editing. In mplayer for
viewing - need to learn/remember the control keys.

Not quite straight answer, still better than window/mac solutions, I'd hope.
