YT Playlist Length - Duration Display
YT Playlist Length - Duration Display is a lightweight extension for Chrome that provides the complete duration of the YouTube playlist you are viewing or watching. It seamlessly integrates with YouTube's existing stats and works on both the playlist viewing page and the watching page.
The extension uses the DOM to calculate the length of the playlist, eliminating the need for API calls that could potentially slow down the browsing experience or pose security risks. For playlists longer than 100 videos, scrolling to the final video on the Playlist view page is required for a full calculation. However, this feature is not available on the watch page, as YouTube only loads up to 400 videos.
Hovering over the displayed duration reveals the number of videos that have been counted. The extension also comes with an update log, which showcases the improvements made in each version.
Future plans for the extension include options to change the displayed format, display on the YouTube mini player, and indicate if the full playlist length has not been calculated. The developer is open to bug reports and encourages users to utilize the "contact the publisher" button for reporting any issues.
Overall, YT Playlist Length - Duration Display is a useful extension for YouTube users who want to have a quick and convenient way to know the duration of the playlists they are viewing or watching.
