[QUOTE="citizenkeys, post: 476247, member: 91851"] 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 ( [url=https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/MediaPortal1_Development/SkinArchitecture/current_file_tags]MediaPortal1_Development/SkinArchitecture/current_file_tags - MediaPortal Manual Documentation[/url] ), 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!
