1.18.0 date.extract - function does not work correctly? (1 Viewer)

[123vak123]

MediaPortal Version: 1.18.0

Description
I tried to extract the values of hours and minutes by the function "data extract" from the tags #currentremaining and #durathion. If the tag value is more than one hour, then the function works normally (see screenshot 1). If the tag value is less than one hour, the function returns 0 (or is it the error value?) for both hours and minutes (see screenshot 2 and 3). But for some files "date.extract('h',cdate(#currentremaining))" returns minutes, "date.extract('n',cdate(#currentremaining))" - seconds (see screenshot 4).

What it could be: bug or feature of the function?

Steps to Reproduce:
I do not know yet what to write here. The problem was revealed during the discussion of the topic Is it possible to add two time values?

cdate work fine for format: HH:mm:ss if string like: 53:50 then C# Believes what needs to be transformed 53 hour and 50 minutes to DateTime ... and return Error value. if string like: 00:53:50 then work fine ...

I add functions, then you can analyze what you want.
string.length
cdate(string, format)
ctimespan(string, format)

And then ....
If length(currenremaining) < 6 then ctimespan(currentremaining, "mm:ss") else ctimespan(currentremaining, "h:mm:ss") etc, etc

Super. Thank you very much. New functions will be included in 1.19Pre? Or can I download the test build somewhere?

New functions will be included in 1.19Pre?

I hope, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to properly check them.

For 1.17 I can give you a test library. Or a little later, if I have time and I will not forget, then for 1.18
