show total time of video files (SumMediaDuration)

[Debugger]

After selecting multiple .mp4 (video) files, how do I show the duration (minutes, seconds) etc. in combination?

[NotNull]

Not possible in Everything 1.4.

For Everything 1.5 see here

[Debugger]

I use 1.5.1383a and when I select a lot of files on the list, how can I show the total time of all the videos? I need this when I want to combine many small video files when I merge a longer video.

Moved to the Everything 1.5 Alpha forum ...

Kind of sounds like:

$total-selection-length: (requires length indexing)

no?

There is a solution to this in Total Commander:
- Sum the length for selected video files at the state line. Is it possible?
- Actual script (.vbs) <-- (!)

But I want to combine multiple functions at the same time.

1. sort by Randomize

2. special regular expressions and queries as in Everything


so this will not work in TotalCommander

TC supports all special regular expressions and queries of Everything
in its search options, starting with ev: or ed:

I was thinking* of using Everything as an alternative to PlayTime (& or MediaInfo).

Where I could have columns like:

Code: Select all

Name | Len | Size | Format | Audio bitrate | Audio Codec | Video Bitrate | Video Codec | Resolution | FPS | Path | Date Modified | Channels | Width | Height | D-Aspect Ratio |
AI 1 1.35.  390.01   MP4       64 kbps        AAC            500 kbps       AVC            480*360    30            2024-02-01        1        480 ?   360 ?     1.333 (or 4.3)
AI 2 1.52.  460.85   AV1      128 kbps        opus           308 kbps       xvid           576*432    25            2017-01-17        2

And a statusbar like:

Code: Select all

  TotTime | SelectedTime | Rows (Selected/Tot) | Size (Selected/Tot) |
 14.46.20    03.01.43        2 / 9               746.30 MB / 3.56 GB

I suppose Everything should be able to do that.


(And then use that as a "stand-alone" -instance.

*Thinking.
But that's as far as I've gone with it, so far .)

[Debugger]

I mark 10000 files of 1-29 seconds each.



MediaInfo does not show how many minutes or hours in total.


Calculate manually anyway no one will want, too much work, and it is not difficult to make mistakes!

Second (and definitely the last) attempt:
