You can add Length to the column layout for audio/video file types.

Well Yes and No.. the Lenght property are from the audio extensions.. but it works for some video formats..

Adding support for all video formats are messy. I need a 3rd party lib that I can use. because I'm not writing it my self. (will take years)
However, finding a good free 3rd party lib in c++ that fits into MC is not easy.

What if i only want video?

For me, the correct lenght of mp4 videos is shown correctly as long as the movie has not more than 2GB...

I already opened a bug report ...

Unfortunately that will not be fixed anytime soon.
MC depends on 3rd party library support for this (TagLib) and the maker of that lib have added 2G+ support in there new v2 branch, but v2 is a total rewrite and is still unstable.
And since v2 have lots of API changes, It will require some work in MC too when going over to v2. So first a stable version of it needs to be released and then I need to find the time to rewrite how MC is using it.
