Tristan Wemm (ID: 0000007714dc0c86) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/26/2024 Seems to just give random times, with no relation to the actual playlist length.

Anton Gorokhov (ID: 00000003e865df46) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/15/2023 Рандомная длительность после каждого обновления страницы.

Nibir Chowdhury (ID: 000000999126cc7e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/25/2023 It gets the job done but in a frustrating manner. If I click on a playlist, let's say an 80-hour-long playlist, it shows me 30/40 hours or something. I just need to press F5 (to refresh), and then it shows me the correct playlist duration. I don't know why they don't show it correctly in the first place. I hope the developers can fix that.

Alek Lavr (ID: 0000007851493439) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/15/2022 Работает. Дизайн слабоват, и пропадает окошко со временем после клика по нему

sunny side up! (ID: 00000075fc2a083b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/05/2022 It seems to just randomly choose when it works. I can't figure it out. And yes the playlists in question are unlisted or public.
