Hello,
i have the Problem that many of my videofiles are much longer as the film, because i have advertising in the films and recorded much longer.
I have no chance to take over the runtime in my .NFO, because Kodi overwrite the runtime with the original Videofile-Runtime.

Here you see the runtime from the Video-File (175min):





So is that any chance to bring the runtime that i can see under the "ExtendedInfo-Script" to my normal Videolist?

Here you can see the original Runtime from the film (149 min):




Perhabs that info from Karellen can help:
 

Quote:Diving into the database, I see that the scraped runtime is added to C11 of the movie table. The actual runtime from the video file is added to iVideoDuration of the streamdetails table of the same database.

I suppose you could modify the skin to exclusively display one and not the other. How to do that you would need to ask in the skin forum.
 

Thank you in advance

I assume that Kodi uses the scraped runtime initially until it gets the meta data from the file itself so there's no way for a skin to change this.
