Use the Marquee display. Go to:
Tools >> Preferences >> (Select "All" for "Show settings") >> Video >> Subtitles/OSD

Enable "Marquee display". Then go to the "Marquee" sub-section and configure appropriately. For example:

Code: Select all

%P / %D
Should do position / duration.

Then when playing an audio file enable a visualization (Audio >> Visualizations etc.). Probably a better method without the need for Visualizations, however that should work.

Thx for your help but i do what you say and in the visualization windows i've " - " and not for example "3:45 / 1:12". Obviously variables %P and %D are not translated.
The "Date/Hour display" works.

Yes, my mistake. Variables have $ symbol not % ones:

Code: Select all

$P / $D
Should work.

Hovering your mouse over the textbox where you enter the variables should display a control-tip box with most/all of the available variables.
