Comment:

 Note that it is expected for you to always show the complete command and
 console output.

 What applications?

 > It would be nice to use the drawtext filter with timecode to display
 just mm:ss, or just ss.

 I've never seen timecode displayed this way. Are you looking for a
 timestamp instead? You can display just seconds, with no decimal places,
 if that is what you need:

 {{{
 text='%{eif\:t\:d}'
 }}}
