This is not really needed, showing days would break the format

would you say like 1.5 days?

it would be hard to determine specific times then.

Umm im not sure how the time is implemented at the moment. If it would be something like 1.5days then i would say to not implement this because it would only complicate the code.

is there a specification by youtube for time formatting?
or media in general?
can you provide examples of regional settings where formatting changes to include Days?
can you provide examples in Media Players that convert formatting to Days?

i see no issue with time being displayed by hours:minutes:seconds
instead of days:hours:minutes:seconds

this could break description/comment time formatting also
if someone posts a timeskip 24:00:01 in description then freetube would have to interpret that

as a standard, youtube only holds videos publically that are 12 hours or less, so 24+ hour videos would mostly be Moot
unless otherwise hacked, legacy, or special use case.
exceptions being LiveStreams, but those you cannot skip around in for extended periods?

i dont see the benefit for changing/adding this feature to create a Days timestamp system

it would make the standard of knowing that there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute and reading time in general too complicated

Ah i didn't know that it would break other things like comments as well. If that is really the case i think it will better if this is a wont implement.

maybe the visual output could be 1D:12H:0M:0S
to make interpreting easier
but i am not sure if this is consistent.
also would only be visual not functional output
