Question / Help Is there some way to display video countdown ( remaining media time ) in OBS ?

[Dihelson Mendonca]

I´m running kind of a news program, and the videos are different sizes. I need to know when the video is about to end in order to change to the main camera on the studio for the news reader, but OBS doesn´t display how much seconds and miliseconds to the media ending. Is there any way to put a countdown even on the preview window in order to perfectly synchronize with the presenter of the show like a real TV broadcast ?

You could implement something like that with scripting. It's not a native feature right now.
Otherwise you have to wait for https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/1803 to be finished because it will implement something link that (you can see what it might look like if you look at the posted screenshots in the pull request).

Any predictions about that?
