Hi Wabe,
thanks for your help and search!!! :)
Before I sent my post I looked through the mpv manpages and searched
for keywords like "frame counter", "frames", "position" etc. and
either overlooked what you have found or it makes not "click" in my
head since it seems now that I did not fully understood what I saw (I
am no native speaker)...
I will tryt out that!
Cheers

I read the mpv man page and found a solution.
Create a file ~/.mpv/input.conf with the content
i show-text ${estimated-frame-number}
When playing a video you can now press the i-key to see the
current framenumber.
But manpage says about the estimated-frame-number property:
"This is only an estimate. (It's computed from two unreliable
quantities: fps and possibly rounded timestamps.)
I've tested it with some videos that I recorded with my
smartphone and it seemed that the printed frame number was
always correct.
Another thing that it maybe useful:
If you start mpv from command line with these two options
--osd-level=3 --osd-fractions=yes
then the OSD as well as the console output shows you the
current timestamp with milliseconds.
If you don't wanna start mpv from command line then you can
also add these two options to ~/.mpv/config
If you do this you need a line for every option and you may
not include the double hyphens.
Btw.: If you press the . key while playing a video, mpv will
switch to single frame mode. Every time you press this key
again, mpv shows the next frame.
You can use the space bar to continue/pause the video.

Check out cinelerra. It is a non-linear video editor and so it also
plays videos and shows the exact timestamp or framenumber (you can
set this in preferences). But cinelerra is a very complex software
and thus maybe not what you are looking for.
Avidemux can also be used as a video player but IIRC it can't show
framenumbers but only the exact timestamp.

[gentoo-user] OT: Avi-player diplaying the current frame counter while playing ?
Hi,
currentlu I am playing around with Blender animations.
To sync certain movements of objects to other objects
I need the exact frame number, at which "something
happens" ;)
The clips are of the avi-format but they are of non
standard resultions. MPlayer does not play them
("no audio found" and that's it) but mpv has no
problem with them.
But mpv only prints the perceantage of how much
is played already (I cant convice mpv otherwise...)
Is there a way to instruct mpv to print the current
frame count while playing?
Are there other players known to do that?
Thanks in advance for any help!
