Media File Size/Duration

[lon22]

Does anyone know if there is a field somewhere in a LMCE table that has the duration of a related media file? Basiclly a field that says media X is xx:xx:xx in duration.

I didn't see ay field as such in pluto_media.

thanks

PlutoMedia.PlaylistEntry.Duration is probably not what you are looking for.

I'd guess the attribute "Run Time".

>> PlutoMedia::AttributeType.find(:all).collect{|c| [c.id, c.Description]}.uniq.each {|a| puts a.join(' ')}

roy,

It doesn't look like the attribute type run time is used for any media in the file attribute table. I would like to get the apprx runtime of a media file.

Howdy,

As far as I can tell, the duration is not stored in the database.  You might have to query the id3 data directly from the file.

Here's a database dump of one of my mp3 files for 0710 beta 3:

The dump finds all associations for the selected record and then only the belongs_to (has a reference id column) associations of child records.

HTH,
Roy
