Extension Usage Instructions

A Lightweight extension that displays the complete duration 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.

Now including a options to customize your experience - 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!

The script uses the DOM to calculate the length so there are no API calls to cause slow downs or pose security risks.

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.
