I was inspired to create this because "get_time_pos" gets reset to zero during the course of playing a DVD and I need the proper DVD time throughout (to sub-second accuracy). Searching on google showed numerous posts where others have a need for a timer that does not reset.

Since when is this change (OSD shows correct position) active? I didn't
pay much attention watching movies lately, but previously at least it
appeared as the PTS reset often occured during the layer break. I hope
this information is outdated
