IDEA: Shell extension to show total play time of media clips
Spaarpott:
Hi, Alloneword, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.
PlayTime uses the MediaInfo library to populate the list so, if MediaInfo doesn't return the data, it will be blank. That said, I can try updating PlayTime to use the latest MediaInfo library to see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't fix the issue, you might try writing to the MediaInfo author.

v1.5.3 - 2017-09-02
* Updated to v0.7.98.0 of MediaInfo.dll.

I also had new .mkv files encoded with Handbrake or updated with MKVPROPEDIT, in which playtime v1.5.3 does not readout the bitrate.
This is because the mediainfo.dll which playtime uses, gets extracted everytime you start the program, so it always uses a version out of 2017.
I found a quick workaround, by copying the latest mediainfo_i386.dll from the program MediaInfo and enable read-only on the file so it does not get replaced.
Watch out, with this method, it only reads the bitrates correctly. It does not read the codec anymore. Steps to do
* Install the latest version of MediaInfo, if you do not have it already.
* Copy from the MediaInfo install folder the file MediaInfo_i386.dll.
* Paste this file in your playtime/RES directory.
* Remove the Mediainfo.dll which exists.
* Rename the Mediainfo_i386.dll to Mediainfo.dll.
* Richt click the file > Properties > General tab > Attributes > Enable "Read-Only"
* That's it! That worked for me!

Fantastic app. Used in to add up 23,000 mp3 playtime for a summary report. Thank you for including the option to scan subdirectories.
Would you consider a feature request? I'm using to summary a large set of mp3 files. I'd like to see a column that shows, "audio file includes embedded CD art?" With a yes/no (true/false) entry.
As well as "includes CD-ART" column, would be great if I could modify the other columns and choose to include artist, title, etc. -- basically any fields found inside the mp3.
