Playtime for audio books #2536

Open jaschaurbach opened 1 year ago

jaschaurbach commented 1 year ago

We have pages for books but we do not have total play time for audio books. Please someone gives me total play time.

it should be used not only on the audiobook page but when listening to one it would be nice to give quotes with a timemark.

Nobody (Goodreads, Inventaire, OpenLibrary) seems to actually have Audiobook duration metadata, surprisingly. Goodreads style for some books is to put it at the top of the description, and they often round it to the nearest hour and enter that in the pages field.

I'm not an audiobook listener, but it makes sense to have the listening length (an int of total minutes?) in the metadata.

listening length (an int of total minutes?) in the metadata.

I think best would be hh:mm:ss :)

I think HH:MM should be required, while SS could be optional.

I would very likely round it to the nearest minute when adding play time, because a lot of material at the beginning and the end of an audio book is technically not part of the book itself, e.g. Audible blurb.
