YouTube Playlist Length - Duration Display Extension

A Lightweight extension that displays the length of the YouTube playlist you are viewing or watching. It works on both the Playlist viewing page, and the watching page, blending in with YouTube's existing stats.

The display can be customized to your preference - these options are accessible from the extension's popup (as shown in the video above). Please leave your feedback and suggestions for any extra options you would like!

For playlists longer than 100 videos, you will need to scroll to the final video on the Playlist view page for a full calculation. Unfortunately this will not work on the watch page as YouTube only loads up to 400 videos.

Hover on the length displayed to view how many videos have been counted.

If you like the extension please submit a review!

Future plans:
- More complex displays, showing progress through playlist in a more visual way etc.
- More options (leave suggestions in your reviews!)
- Display on the YouTube mini player.

Known Bugs:
- None currently.

Please report any issues via my email listed below in the Details section!

Chuah Xinn Tze (ID: 0000006960419236) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 I love this extension as it provides the intended function. However, I would suggest the developer to add a feature where it could calculate the remaining time for the playlist to finish playing all the videos. It would be useful as it could allow the user to know how much time they had watched or how much times remaning for the playlist to end. Anyhow, thanks for the extension, else it is very useful.

Charles (ID: 000000fa28495619) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 Works very well! I tried several extensions, and was very disappointed. Most didn't even work. This one is a keeper, lightweight, with nothing fancy to get in the way of what I actually want. Great extension! Thanks for making it!
