are there any technical utilities to achieve these kinds of very specific 'start times'?
in other words.. it would be neat if there was a VLC/Jellyfin/Kodi plugin (some sort of video player) that you could schedule to start a video, to the second.

I'm not sure the people who engage in this sort of tomfoolery are concerned with atomic clock-level precision.
You mean nerds? Because I'm pretty sure there are.

You can use Task Scheduler in windows to run a command to run VLC at a specific time
You'd have to run a few tests to figure out how long it takes to start and open the file, though - there will definitely be a delay
You'd have to take load times into account, maybe have VLC open and ready and have task scheduler press the space bar with autohotkey
Use a clock.
You can set up a command line to start VLC using the OS's built in task scheduler.
