YouTube Playlist Length - Duration Display

A Lightweight extension that displays the length of the current YouTube playlist

What is YouTube Playlist Length - Duration Display?

YT Playlist Length - Duration Display is a handy chrome extension that aims to enhance your viewing experience in YouTube. It's primarily used to display the combined duration of all videos in a YouTube playlist. Blending seamlessly with YouTube's stats, it operates by using the DOM, negating any need for API calls and thereby avoiding any slowdowns. It functions on both the playlist viewing and watching pages. This tool is especially helpful for playlists consisting of more than 100 videos, however, for accurate duration, scrolling until the end of the playlist is required. The extension is regularly updated and ensures maximum compatibility with YouTube's interface update.

Summary

Analyze keywords

A Lightweight extension that displays the length of the YouTube playlist you are viewing or watching. It works on both the Playlist viewing page, and the watching page, blending in with YouTube's existing stats.

The display can be customized to your preference - these options are accessible from the extension's popup (as shown in the video above). Please leave your feedback and suggestions for any extra options you would like!

For playlists longer than 100 videos, you will need to scroll to the final video on the Playlist view page for a full calculation. Unfortunately this will not work on the watch page as YouTube only loads up to 400 videos.

Hover on the length displayed to view how many videos have been counted.

Works well Highly recommend this to anyone looking to keep their internet time in check! I do notice a ton of messages in Chrome dev-tools with this extension active that "Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')" whenever watching a video without a playlist or queue active. It doesn't impact performance in any noticeable way, the messages keep showing because the extension is actively looking for playlist values for anyone curious.
