I posted a VLC extension script to show a dialog with the playlist's total time as a reply to another post. You can get it here:
--- EDIT (12.3.2013, mederi) ---
Code: Select all
-- playlistduration.lua -- VLC extension --
--[[
INSTALLATION:
Put the file in the VLC subdir /lua/extensions, by default:
* Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
* Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions\
* Linux (all users): /usr/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
* Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
* Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
(create directories if they don't exist)
Restart the VLC.
Then you simply use the extension by going to the "View" menu and selecting it.
