Show "2 hours 14 minutes" instead of "134 mins"

As the title says it would me much nicer for the Look&Feel of the WebGUI to see something like

 

2 hours 14 minutes

 

instead of

 

134 mins

 

on an opened movie entry.

 

Also here, maybe an option, per profile, would be a very nice solution to let the user choose which way he wants it getting displayed.

But "2 hours 14 minutes" should be the default format!

 

 

BTW:

"mins" is not translated into german, too.

 

 

P.S:

solutions for this, PHP or whatever, you can find enough on the web. A work of a few minutes.

To implement this functionality faster you could implement this for the beginning and then wait for the translation:

Duration: 02:14

 

When the translations are ready maybe

Duration: 2 hours 14 minutes

or

Duration 2h 14m

The problem is display space.

 

Perhaps it could be "2:04" if that is universally understood (IMO that looks a little too much like a time of day) but minutes is pretty universally understood already.

Nice idea

 

Be good to use the the 'h' and 'm' to fully identify it

 

134 mins

1h 14m

 

Is similar in character length

 

Not sure about others, but if i saw it as 2:14, i would assume a bad video at 2 mins 14 seconds

Exactly.

 

2h 14m is understood everywhere and should be the format to take.
