Hi.  
Is it possible to show track length on search results window?  
%\_length% doesn't work as it does for ParserScriptAlbum part.  
I thought I could use arithmetic functions ($add,$div etc) but failed. Hope you can help me.

Hi anil,

you can output almost anything on the search results window, as long as you put the field name in the [IndexFormat] specification and emit the expected output in the [ParserScriptIndex].

Scripting functions like $add or $div are not supported within the output, so you can only emit what's already available on the resource you're processing.

Kind regards  
– Florian

iTunes gives only milliseconds info so I expected %\_length% to convert milliseconds to X:XX format. Because %length% doesn't convert it.  
Since scripting functions don't work either, i have to wait until that feature is added.  
Thank you very much, Florian.

Just for the fun of it. I had this in a script I wrote for dj sets on soundcloud. The scripts itself isn't working, but the math worked:
