DotnetTimecode 2.0.1

What is Dotnet Timecode?

Dotnet Timecode is a C# class library for working with SMPTE Timecodes defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers in the SMPTE 12M specification.

The library allows the user to construct timecode objects, manipulate timecode values, and convert between the most common framerates, including drop frame framerates such as 29.97DF and 59.95DF.

How do I get started?

Get the latest nuget package using the dotnet CLI

dotnet add package DotnetTimecode

or using the Nuget Package Manager

Install-Package DotnetTimecode

Add a reference to the library, then simply construct your objects.

Examples:

using DotnetTimecode;
using DotnetTimecode.Enums;

var foo = new Timecode(Framerate.fps30);
var bar = new Timecode(10, 00, 00, 00, Framerate.fps59_94_DF);
var baz = new Timecode("10:00:00:00", Framerate.fps24);

foo.ToString() // "00:00:00:00"
bar.AddMinutes(-61).ToString(); // "08:59:00;00"
baz.ConvertFramerate(Framerate.fps25).ToString(); // "09:36:00:00"

Constructors

Timecode(Enums.Framerate framerate);
Timecode(int hour, int minute, int second, int frame, Enums.Framerate framerate);
Timecode(string timecode, Enums.Framerate framerate);

Object methods

string timecodeString = timecodeObj.ToString();
timecodeObj.AddHours(int hours);
timecodeObj.AddMinutes(int minutes);
timecodeObj.AddSeconds(int seconds);
timecodeObj.AddFrames(int frames);
timecodeObj.ConvertFramerate(Enums.Framerate targetFramerate);

Static methods

string timecodeString = Timecode.AddHours(string timecode, int hours);
string timecodeString = Timecode.AddMinutes(string timecode, int minutes);
string timecodeString = Timecode.AddSeconds(string timecode, int seconds);
string timecodeString = Timecode.AddFrames(string timecode, int frames);
string timecodeString = Timecode.ConvertFramerate(string timecode, Enums.Framerate originalFramerate, Enums.Framerate targetFramerate);
string timecodeString = Timecode.ConvertSrtTimecodeToTimecode(string srtTimecode, Enums.Framerate framerate);
string srtTimecodeString = Timecode.ConvertTimecodeToSrtTimecode(string timecode, Enums.Framerate framerate);

Object Properties

int hour = timecodeObj.Hour;
int minute = timecodeObj.Minute;
int second = timecodeObj.Second;
int frame = timecodeObj.Frame;
int totalFrames = timecodeObj.TotalFrames;
Enums.Framerate framerate = timecodeObj.Framerate;

Static Properties

string timecodeRegex = Timecode.TimecodeRegexPattern;
string srtTimecodeRegex = Timecode.SrtTimecodeRegexPattern;

Operator Overloading

var tc1 = new Timecode(10, 0, 0, 0, Enums.Framerate.fps23_976); // 10:00:00:00
var tc2 = new Timecode(1, 0, 0, 0, Enums.Framerate.fps23_976); // 01:00:00:00

tc1 + tc2;  // 11:00:00:00
tc1 - tc2;  // 09:00:00:00
tc1 < tc2;  // False
tc1 > tc2;  // True
tc1 <= tc2; // False
tc1 >= tc2; // True
tc1 == tc2; // False
tc1 != tc2; // True
