A python script to generate a timestamp link for google drive videos

gdrive-vid-timestamper.py

# How it works:
# - Download and run it (python3 gdrive-vid-timestamper.py)
# - Enter the google drive link for your video. Make sure the link ends at the `view` part e.g `https://drive.google.com/file/d/sdf/view`
# - Enter the time you want e.g `8:36`
# - A link with the timestamp embedded in seconds will be returned
# - The app continues running, waiting for the next time to be input. `ctrl-c` to terminate it.
def converter(link):
    _time = input("Enter time in 'm:s' format: ")  # e.g 2:01
    to_convert = _time.split(":")
    time_in_seconds = (int(to_convert[0])*60) + int(to_convert[1])
    print("{}?t={}s/preview?autoplay=1".format(link, time_in_seconds))
    converter(link)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    link = input("Enter gdrive video link: ")
    converter(link)
