Gulliver by Darrell_g

Ever watching a live nature cam — a reef, a nest, a waterhole — and someone in chat says "check out 15:48:14"? Getting there means dragging the scrubber around, estimating, overshooting, and fiddling to arrive at a precise moment. Gulliver eliminates the hassle, saving you time.

Gulliver is free. No ads. Forever.

HOW TO USE IT
1. Open a YouTube live stream that displays an on-screen clock.
2. Click the Gulliver compass in your browser's toolbar — the box appears over the player.
3. Select the stream's timezone (just once per stream — it's remembered).
4. Type the time you want to see, as shown on the stream's clock, and press Enter.
5. Drag the box anywhere you like. Click the compass again to hide it.

KEYBOARD CONTROLS (while typing in the input box)
L — back to the live edge
P — pause or resume (handy for grabbing a screenshot of the moment)
← → — nudge 5 seconds

WORKS ON
Any YouTube live stream that shows an on-screen clock and keeps a rewindable buffer — wildlife cams and similar round-the-clock feeds. Desktop only.See "OFFSET" below.

WHY IT'S ACCURATE
Gulliver reads the stream's own broadcast timing rather than guessing from the scrubber, so it never drifts and never needs recalibrating. It also verifies where it landed and corrects itself, so you arrive on the moment you asked for — not near it.

OFFSET (Behind the gear icon):
For most streams: leave it at 0.
A few broadcasters set their clocks differently; on those streams, jumps may land at a consistent offset — enter the difference in seconds and Gulliver remembers it.

PRIVACY
Gulliver collects nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your browser, and it makes no network requests. The only thing it stores is your per-stream timezone and offset choices, saved locally on your own device.

VERSION 1.2
v1.2 Reduces the visual footprint of the UI while adding keyboard shortcuts (pause, back-to-live, ±5s nudge). Gulliver now holds the player paused during a jump for landing accuracy. Playback control uses the page player's own pauseVideo()/playVideo(), reached through the same MAIN-world script already used for seekTo()/seekToLiveHead(). No new permissions, files, or network activity.

FINAL NOTE
At any point YouTube could change how their API works, causing bugs or completely breaking the extension. If that happens please drop me a line and I will get things working again as fast as I can. I won't leave you hanging!
