i'm trying to have the current duration for the playing video/song on the home screen.
problem is that according to the skin design guide ( MediaPortal1_Development/SkinArchitecture/current_file_tags - MediaPortal Manual Documentation ), there's two duration tags. There's:
#duration - for videos and tv - but also works on music
#Play.Current.Duration - for music.
Two things:
* why can't there be a single duration tag that works for all media types?
* #duration doesn't show any prefix label.
#Play.Current.Duration is automatically preceded by string id 437 ("Duration: ").
it logically follows that if there's a single duration tag, that there should be a single label for it, or at least some consistency about when the duration label is applied.
#duration works on music as well, but doesn't show the string id prefix.
i'm workin on getting this wikitorrents.org site going that i registered a year ago. it's gonna be so 1337!
