Show remaining time in playing video

I'm using some XD1032s to play videos interactively in a museum setting, and I am wondering if it's possible to set them up to show the time remaining in the video.  I have seen references to doing similar things using plugins in earlier versions of BrightAuthor, and am wondering if newer versions might support something like this natively.

    Plugin coding would be the way to go IMHO.

    The documentation is showing relevant functions: GetPlaybackPosition(), and GetDuration(), which could be the base to what you are after.

    Are you looking to present the remaining time on the screen?

    Time remaining is what I want to show on screen, ideally counting down by second.  So we would have a readout that said something like "[mm:ss] remaining in video" that updates as the video plays.

    Is there already a plugin that does something like this?
