I found this gist from a reddit post because I wanted to find a way to grab a screenshot with a playback time, and this worked wonderfully! I then decided I want to try to add milliseconds as well. After a lot of trial and error and research I finally found a fairly elegant way to do that, which might help anyone that finds this:
# I'm not sure if 'sync' is necessary here, but I'm just trying to ensure the
# timestamp comes out before getting a screenshot
Meta+s show-text "${playback-time/full}" "2500";sync screenshot window
I found this other reddit post that showed using some /full syntax to append the milliseconds, but a search for "/full" in the mpv manual didn't return anything. But I did find this line in the source code:
Excellent, @blackace72!

The goal was to have the timestamp 'baked in' to the screenshot. This input.conf screenshot command does just that. There is a bunch of other stuff in here that's left over from other configs, I left it all commented out for the most part.
