Is there anyway to automatically display the length of a video posted? ...

I don't mind long videos, I just don't want to have to play the video to find out the length.
The longer ones I'd have to schedule time to view them.
The short videos 1-5 minutes I could usually sit through them when ai select them, but the long videos especially the 15 min+ videos, I end up scheduling time to sit through them.

But if the time is listed with the title or the image, I don't have to play them to see the length.

Just requesting.

Or custom script logic couple be inserted in an OP, that is more for the site operator adding videos to their site articles.


Right click the web page and View Source. Search for YouTube iframe and you'll see something like this:
