Machine parsable duration

[ghost]

Using this file (regionsAllowed=DE,US):

youtube-dl --format 140 --output journey.m4a k5dX9sjXYVk

FFmpeg can get machine parsable duration:

$ ffprobe -v 0 -of csv=p=0 -show_entries stream=duration journey.m4a
610.800998

However TagEditor cannot:

$ tageditor -if journey.m4a
Technical information for "journey.m4a":
  Container format: MPEG-4 Part 14
    Document type                 isom
    Version                       512
    Duration                      10 min 10 s 801 ms

It is printing the duration in the way I like it most. Of course alternative formats could be implemented (like total seconds).

BTW: Maybe using the tagparser library directly is a better approach for what you're trying to achieve. Its API is very simple to use.

Implemented by introducing --time-span-format option:

--time-span-format [measures/colons/seconds]
  specifies the output format for time spans

eg.

• measures: 3 min 26 s 17 ms 210 µs 800 ns
• colons: 00:03:26.0172108
• seconds: 206.0172108

Confirmed - thanks

$ tageditor -if journey.m4a --time-span-format seconds | grep Duration
    Duration                      610.801
    Duration                      610.800907
