Hi,

I've been trying to use Media Player plugin for playing MP3 files, in particular for large MP3 collections (lectures). I found how to make the plugin to display hours in length and current position but I couldn’t figure out how to get the total time of all the files loaded via a M3U playlist.

There are few dozens of mp3 files with total time of 10-15 hours and if I load them in Windows Media Player I am able to jump to next/previous file in current playlist as well as get total time of all of them.

I was wondering if you could explain me a few things about Media Player plugin:
1. is it possible to obtain the name of currently playing track/file, if the file was loaded through a playlist, like M3U?
2. how to get total time for all media files loaded via playlist?
3. how to jump to next | previous file in the playlist?
3. is it anyhow possible to calculate the current playback position not only of a currently playing media but in relation to total time of all the files loaded?

Any information is much appreciated. Thank you.
