Methods > Players and stream mixers > GetFormattedSoundOriginalDuration method

Remarks

Retrieves a string containing the formatted sound duration using the following format [hh:mm:ss:ms(3)] in which hh is for hours, mm is for minutes, ss is for seconds and ms(3) are three characters representing the milliseconds. For example [04:34:200] indicates a song during 0 hours (the hours number is automatically omitted if 0), 4 minutes, 34 seconds and 200 milliseconds.

Differently from the GetFormattedSoundDuration method, this method doesn't keep count of eventual tempo and/or playback rate changes so the reported duration will be the original one.

The song duration in milliseconds can be obtained using the GetSoundOriginalDuration method.
