Read current timecode position in Pro Tools and send to a browser to create an scrollable script that follows the playhead cursor

Hi Stefan

Using dynamic data in tables is currently only possible for registered SoundFlow Developers who have gone through our internal training program (we're running the first round of classes right now).
Would you want me to pass this idea on to our current developer group to see if any of them would be interested in implementing something like this?

I have an approach that seems to be a good way to go.
The manuscript in docx format has the following table structure:
––––––––––––––––––––––
| mm:ss | role | text to record |
––––––––––––––––––––––
| 00:13 | JIM | This is a great idea.
| 00:19 | ANN | Yes. It is.

I converted the docx file into a simple html structure and added hyperlink using the id of the link target, preceded by # for each second. This way I can jump to timecode 00:13 in the script with a link that e.g. looks like this:
file:///Users/stefanmoehl/Desktop/TCReader/out.html#13
where 13 represents the TC of the ProTools cursor.

Here is the basic structure of the html presentation

<div id="13"></div>
<p>00:13</p>
<p >JIM</p>
<p >This is a great idea.</p>

<div id="14"></div>
<div id="15"></div>
<div id="16"></div>
<div id="17"></div>
<div id="18"></div>
<div id="19"></div>

<p>00:19</p>
<p >ANN</p>
<p >Yes. It is.</p>

I have started a script in SF that create s the link.

var hours = 0;
var minutes = 0;
var seconds = 0;
var secondsInTotal = 0;

function createLinkWithTimecode() {
    var hours = 0;
    var minutes = 0;
    var seconds = 0;
    var secondsInTotal = 0;
    var link = '';



    var currentTimecode = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.counterDisplay.mainCounter.value.invalidate().value;
    hours =  parseInt( currentTimecode.substr(0,2) );
    if (hours == 10)
        hours = 0;
    if (hours == 11)
        hours = 1;
    minutes = parseInt( currentTimecode.substr(3,2) );
    seconds =  parseInt( currentTimecode.substr(6,2) );
    secondsInTotal = hours*3600 + minutes*60 + seconds;
    log('hours: '+ hours.toString() + ' minutes: ' + minutes.toString() + ' seconds: ' + seconds.toString() + ' secondsInTotal: ' + secondsInTotal.toString());
    link = 'file:///Users/stefanmoehl/Desktop/TCReader/out.html#' + secondsInTotal;
    log(link);
    sf.clipboard.setText({text: link})
    // send this link to the browser each second? 

    sf.file.open({
        path: link,
        applicationPath: "/Applications/Firefox.app",
    });

};


createLinkWithTimecode();

the creation of the link is working.
I want to test it by running it inside from SF with the sf.file.open function but that does not work as it should as it cuts the anchor at the end of the url.
It should open file:///Users/stefanmoehl/Desktop/TCReader/out.html#934
but it opens only file:///Users/stefanmoehl/Desktop/TCReader/out.html

Do you know why the open function cuts the url?

Of course this is just for testing.
The next step is to create the server model to receive the TC from the website.
