are there any technical utilities to achieve these kinds of very specific ‘start times’?

in other words… it would be neat if there was a VLC/Jellyfin/Kodi plugin (some sort of video player) that you could schedule to start a video, to the second.

You can use Task Scheduler in windows to run a command to run VLC at a specific time

You’d have to run a few tests to figure out how long it takes to start and open the file, though - there will definitely be a delay

You’d have to take load times into account, maybe have VLC open and ready and have task scheduler press the space bar with autohotkey

I’m not sure the people who engage in this sort of tomfoolery are concerned with atomic clock-level precision.

You can set up a command line to start VLC using the OS’s built in task scheduler.
