Is there anyway to automatically display the length of a video posted? ...

[aggiesal]

I don't mind long videos, I just don't want to have to play the video to find out the length.
The longer ones I'd have to schedule time to view them.
The short videos 1-5 minutes I could usually sit through them when ai select them, but the long videos especially the 15 min+ videos, I end up scheduling time to sit through them.

But if the time is listed with the title or the image, I don't have to play them to see the length.

Just requesting.

That would be a great feature.

2. Looking at YouTube videos in Page Source, they look to be generic iframe HTML embeds.

That only has basic border framing, the answer seems to be no.

If there were a custom player, such as over at the Crooks&Liars site, there is code that can obtain that information.
Or custom script logic couple be inserted in an OP, that is more for the site operator adding videos to their site articles.


Right click the web page and View Source. Search for YouTube iframe and you'll see something like this:

3. Question

In DU, are we able to post videos we upload vs. those on the internet/with a URL?
