Duration Display Issue in v25.03: Unable to Show Seconds for Files Over 1 Hour
Description
When analyzing video files with a duration exceeding 1 hour (e.g., 1 hour 26 minutes 44 seconds), MediaInfo v25.03 only displays the duration up to minutes (e.g., "1 h 26 min") and omits the seconds. For files shorter than 1 hour, the duration is displayed with full precision, including seconds (e.g., "26 min 44 s"). I would like to configure MediaInfo to always display the duration with seconds, even for files longer than 1 hour (e.g., "1 h 26 min 44 s").
Here is a screenshot showing the issue:

Steps to Reproduce
- Open MediaInfo v25.03 (GUI) on Windows 10 (64-bit).
- Drag and drop a video file with a duration longer than 1 hour (e.g., 1 hour 26 minutes 44 seconds).
- Check the "Duration" field in the "General" section.
- The duration is displayed as "1 h 26 min" (seconds are omitted).
Expected Behavior
The duration should be displayed with full precision, including seconds, for all video files (e.g., "1 h 26 min 44 s").
Actual Behavior
For files longer than 1 hour, the duration is displayed only up to minutes (e.g., "1 h 26 min").
Attempts to Resolve
I have tried the following methods to resolve this issue, but none have worked:
- Preferences > Tree & Text: The "Tree & Text" tab shows "Not yet...", indicating no settings are available. See screenshot:
 - Preferences > Custom: I tried editing the custom template (e.g., "PTERWEB") to change the duration format from
%Duration/String3%to%Duration/String4%, but I couldn’t find the exact line to modify, and the change didn’t affect the display. - Language File Modification: I searched for "Duration" in the language file (
C:\Program Files\MediaInfo\Plugin\Language\en.csv) and found 14 matches, but none of them defined the duration format (e.g.,%Duration/String3%). The entries were mostly labels (e.g.,Duration;Duration). See screenshot:

Environment
- MediaInfo Version: v25.03 (GUI, Windows 64-bit)
- Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Sample File: The issue occurs with a video file located at
G:\MTN_m3u8DL-RE_v0.3.0-beta_win-x64_20241203\Aneri\720p_2025-03-21_18-1.mpegts. I can provide the file if needed (it is a 1-hour-26-minute-44-second MPEG-TS file).
Additional Information
- I understand that the default format might be
%Duration/String3%, which omits seconds for durations over 1 hour. I would like to use%Duration/String4%to display the full duration. - A temporary workaround using the CLI (
mediainfo --Inform="General;%Duration/String4%" "file_path") works, but I would prefer a GUI solution.
Feature Request
If this behavior cannot be changed through existing settings, I would like to request a feature to allow users to configure the duration display format in the GUI (e.g., an option to always show seconds).
Thank you for your time and assistance!
