Youtube Playlist Duration Calculator

An extension to calculate & display the total duration of a youtube playlist.

The YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator is a handy Chrome extension designed to calculate and show the total duration of any YouTube playlist. Once installed, simply browse to a YouTube playlist overview page, and the extension will display the total playtime formatted as hh:mm:ss in the playlist info panel.

In addition to calculating duration, users can sort small playlists (up to 100 videos) by various criteria including duration, view count, upload date, and channel name. This makes it easier to manage and explore playlists efficiently. The extension also reports how many videos were counted and if any videos were not included in the total duration calculation.

Open source and easy to use, this extension enhances your YouTube experience by giving you quick insight into playlist lengths and sorting options.

User reviews

Users appreciate the YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator for its simplicity and useful features like total duration calculation and sorting by video length, aiding in playlist management. However, multiple reviews mention reliability issues: the extension often stops working after some time or YouTube updates, struggles with large playlists (100+ videos), and has display or responsiveness quirks. Users have requested improvements such as supporting higher video counts, persistent sorting, time display preferences, and playback speed-based duration estimates. Despite setbacks, developer responsiveness and recent feature additions are positively noted.
Pros
  • Effectively calculates total playlist duration, helping users manage their watch time.
  • Simple, effective, and easy to use interface that works well for most users.
  • The extension includes a useful 'sort by duration' feature to organize videos by length.
  • Prompt updates from developers to fix issues and implement requested features.
  • Helpful for managing large playlists and deciding which videos to watch or remove.
Cons
  • Extension often stops working after some time or after YouTube updates, requiring fixes or reinstallation.
  • Does not properly support playlists with more than 100 videos; sorting features can be limited or inaccurate for large playlists.
  • Time display issues such as showing duration in minutes instead of hours, causing confusion.
  • Responsiveness issues at higher zoom levels, making added information hard to see without zooming out.
  • Sorting by video duration does not persist; playback order resets after watching a video.
