Duration column formatting in playlist like foobar2000?

[Samueru-sama]

In foobar2000 the duration column updates when you are playing a selected track to show the current second and total length of the track, in deadbeef it only shows the total duration without the current playing second.

For example if a track has a length of 2 minutes, it shows as 2:00 in both foobar2000 and deadbeef.

However if I start playing that track, in foobar2000 that will update to show 0:01/2:00 and that 0:01 will start updating every second along with the playing music. In deadbeef this doesn't happen.

Using a custom column with the format %playback_time% %length% almost does the trick, however it shows 0:01 2:00 instead of 0:01/2:00 when playing, I can't simply do %playback_time% / %length% because the ''/'' would show in every single track that is not playing as /2:00 in this example, how can I fix this?

Also what's the title format for the default playing column in deadbeef? That shows a play icon when playing a track, I would love to know the tittle format to incorporate that to what I'm trying to do.

In deadbeef, this is something that's not used by default, but you can enable the same behavior by using this title formatting script for the Duration column: [%playback_time% / ]%length%

Thanks a lot, that was exactly what I needed.

This column does not use title format -- it's a special column type, and it can't be done using title formatting.
