Adding "webm" format into Freac took a long time to complete #252

Describe the bug I'm adding webm format files into freac but it took a long time for the program to actually add all listed files in the folder.

To Reproduce Select all file and drag and drop to the folder, just like what I used to, but with mp3 or mp4 the program read very fast.

System (please complete the following information)

Thank you very much for consider the issue.

Thank you for reporting this!

Please try the latest continuous build. It should open video files much faster.

fre:ac uses FFmpeg to read video files and previous versions read the whole file in order to get the exact length of the video. With the new update, fre:ac extracts the approximate length from the information printed by FFmpeg which is much faster.

The fix should work for all supported video formats as well as some proprietary audio formats that fre:ac imports through FFmpeg (e.g. AC-3, DTS and DSD). fre:ac will display the length of such files as approximate values (with the ≈ prefix).

Hi @enzo1982, I have tried with the continuous build. There almost no difference in speed of importation of .webm, as far as I could see. I download these .webm using a program call youtube-dlg to extract the audio-only section of the file. I don't know whether the file was download with both video and audio section but what I choose was to download only the audio version and found those files in the download folder.
