Xyplorer Video Length Column View

Post by Tacobellrox »

:tup: Hello XYplorer Beta Club :)

We did a google search for XYplorer Audio/Video Length column and found a post
here on the XYplorer Beta Club forum from 2013 which indicated numerous times
by XYplorer representatives that
"This feature is coming...". 8) :biggrin: :appl:

But I can't seem to find any way to enable Audio/Video Length column anywhere in the
free version of XYplorer
, we would gladly pay for the pro version if this option is available.

Is there an Audio/Video Length column option in the paid version of XYplorer
:?:

Thanks,
:ugeek:

Welcome to the forum

E.g.: viewtopic.php?p=113536#p113536

In short: XY can show what your Windows version supports (a so called shell property)
which depends on the codecs that the OS brings.

For example: Before Windows 10,
.mkv files won't provide any info about their length because there is no inbuilt
codec for it. An installed codec package can change that ofc.
Win 10 wouldn't need a codec package for .mkv, because it already has the codec for it

In other words, for some file formats you may need additionally installed codec (package/s)
otherwise you would need to switch back to a tool that can extract video / audio length
from the file, which in general is not a very fast method

The free version of XY doesn't bring these kind of custom columns that are needed, so
you'd need to by the pro version...

I move this topic, it belongs to questions and answers...
