Greetings!
Is there any programmable way to get total duration of VideoList Input, or durations of all items from this VideoList?
In XML there is only a duration of currently selected item from List.
Thanks in advance.
Upd: it’s available in gui, in List editor. But can’t find same in any API.

You could check the API XML for the list items and total the duration of each video file with a script

The duration (in milliseconds) of the currently selected item is shown in the List Input. <input key="59b76d0d-442d-4766-ae8c-2bd5a2579576" number="16" type="VideoList" title="List1 - 3 Lord Selkirk.mov" shortTitle="List1" state="Paused" position="0" duration="226688" loop="False" muted="True" volume="40.96" balance="0" solo="False" audiobusses="M" meterF1="0" meterF2="0" gainDb="0" selectedIndex="5">List1 - 3 Lord Selkirk.mov<list><item>E:\FVM 2019\Videos\5 Mont-Joli.mp4</item> <item>E:\FVM 2019\Videos\1 Precieux Sang.mov</item> <item>E:\FVM 2019\Videos\4 Miles MacDonell.mp4</item> <item>E:\FVM 2019\Videos\6 St Paul Collegiate.mov</item> <item selected="true">E:\FVM 2019\Videos\3 Lord Selkirk.mov</item><item>E:\FVM 2019\Videos\best of FVM 2019 - 01.mp4</item>

Thats was in my original post. In XML i see only duration of selected. But in GUI i see all. Is there a way to get all item’s (or total) durations via API?

Is there a way to get all item’s (or total) durations via API? while not obvious there is a shortcut to allow to "scroll" through the list inputs. means you can loop through all the items and read their duration to add to a total NextPicture/PreviousPicture function the wonders of a quick search ;-) https://forums.vmix.com/...deo-list--input#post5286

I understand this way, but in a common case i can not touch list, cause it may be online when i need durations. another way - i can add and remove as a new input each file from list one by one and grab its duration, but is seems to be a strange way, when vMix already knows this information. vMix team, is it possible to add item’s duration to XML?
