Timer to show up to 90.00 minutes instead of looping to 00.00 on 60.00

As in the subject I'm having problems with getting a clock to show above 59.59
Setting the display format to mm:ss doesn't seem to work, however using only mm does bring the desired effect. Two different timers to show minutes and seconds sounds like a disaster wating to happen, however I'm starting to think that is the only way to do what is wanted here. Is there something I might be missing or has something changed and this is no longer possible?
Using vMix 29.0.0.47 x64 in case that makes a difference.

You get 59:59 maximum because a time would be hh:mm:ss to get more than 59:59. That's how the "time" handling code works. For what you want you'll have to take a hh:mm:ss output string and then parse it to get the separate hours minutes and seconds then make the calculations to get the total minutes then create your own string with the calculated minutes (hours * 60 + minutes) and ":" and seconds.

There was this old thread ( link) which suggested that this was possible in the past an there were other sources claiming it too. Was this changed? It seems like a weird way to work since using only hh or ss will give you number that is greater than 59. I guess I'll have to look into the solution you offered. Thank you.
