Add Option to show Absolute dates, not Relative dates, in playlists and main Details

Open MisterTickle opened this issue 8 months ago • 4 comments

PROBLEM: I hate seeing vague, "friendly" relative dates in my playlists. Example when I've sorted a playlist by published date, it's still horrible. This is shown in the information for each video. Title of Video 1 - Channel - Views - Uploaded 1 week ago Title of Video 2 - Channel - Views - Uploaded 4 days ago Title of Video 3 - Channel - Views - Uploaded 4 days ago Title of Video 4 - Channel - Views - Uploaded 2 hours ago Title of Video 5 - Channel - Views - Uploaded 2 hours ago

Were those two "4 days ago" videos uploaded 1 minute apart, or 23minutes and 59 seconds apart? There's no way to tell. I hate this!

It is also shown in the "how long ago" a video was uploaded in the MAIN display panel in the DETAILS for each ago. There is an option to show the date, and the day of the week - but I want to see the EXACT date and time. Is this possible please?

SOLUTION:
I would like to see the EXACT dates AND times displayed, like this, with the full date including the day, and the month names, and the "st", "nd", "rd", "th": Title of Video 1 - Channel - Views - Uploaded Sun 2nd Jun 2024 13:45 Title of Video 2 - Channel - Views - Uploaded Wed 5th Jun 2024 08:35 Title of Video 3 - Channel - Views - Uploaded Wed 5th Jun 2024 20:14 Title of Video 4 - Channel - Views - Uploaded Sun 9th Jun 2024 08:45 Title of Video 5 - Channel - Views - Uploaded Sun 9th Jun 2024 08:55

And in the main display details:

328,494 views Thurs 6 Jun 2024 16:45 ^^^ add Day and Time. (Sometimes the Day disappears, perhaps this is a bug. If I toggle "hide views count" a few times, then the Day comes back.)
