Convert Video Duration Number to Time with PHP or jQuery


Question

I'm loading the YouTube API by jQuery + JSON to get the video info of it's views and duration.

The duration number for example is 210 sample, but in actually time, it's 3:30. :)

The problem is, I'm not sure how to come by to converting the numbers to actually time, not even with PHP's strtotime since I believe jQuery would load too late for that. (Or I don't know at all.) :p

<div id="sidebar">
<h3>Related Videos</h3>
	<ul id="related-videos">
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => '5', 'post_format' => 'post-format-video','category_name' => 'hip-hop') );
			while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
			 <li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">
<div class="side-thumb"><?php the_post_thumbnail('small'); ?></div>
				 <?php the_title(); ?><br />
						<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$.getJSON('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/<?php echo getYouTubeIdFromURL(get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID,'video',true)); ?&gt; ?v=2&amp;alt=jsonc',function(data,status,xhr){
$("#yt_time-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html(data.data.duration);
$("#yt_views-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html(data.data.viewCount);
});
});
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;div class="yt"&gt;Duration: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="yt_time-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;" class="yt"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yt"&gt; | &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yt"&gt;Views: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="yt_views-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;"class="yt"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;
				&lt;/li&gt;
			&lt;?php endwhile;wp_reset_postdata();?&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;!-- #related-videos --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #sidebar --&gt;

I think this is the solution, but I don't exactly know how to use it. This code is from Stack Overflow.

&lt;?php date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime(sprintf('- %d second', round($speed * 60)))); ?&gt;

Here's a screenshot of what I'm working on. Check out the "Related Videos" on the bottom right.

Something along these lines...

var seconds = 0,
    multiplier = 1,
    time = '3:30';

time = time.split(':');
while (time.length)
{
  seconds += multiplier * parseInt( time.pop() );
  multiplier *= 60;
}

Or a slight variation to cut out a line

var seconds = 0,
    multiplier = 1/60,
    time = '3:30';

time = time.split(':');
while (time.length)
{
  seconds += (multiplier *= 60) * parseInt( time.pop() );
}

Sweet! But how do I implement it with this since it appends into a DIV? This is actually in a loop on WordPress, so it won't be a specific time.

$("#yt_views-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html(data.data.viewCount);

Put this somewhere in the document, along with the rest of your script:

function TimeFormatter (time) {
  this.base_time = time;
}

TimeFormatter.prototype = {

  in_seconds: function () {
	var seconds = 0,
		multiplier = 1/60;

	time = this.base_time.split(':');
	while (time.length)
	{
	  seconds += (multiplier *= 60) * parseInt( time.pop() );
	}

	return seconds;
  }

};

Then you can either use this to just print out the seconds directly

$("#yt_views-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html( new TimeFormatter( data.data.viewCount ).in_seconds() );

or create an instance of the object for use elsewhere:

var video_duration = new TimeFormatter( data.data.viewCount );
$("#yt_views-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html( video_duration.in_seconds() );

The Console says

Uncaught TypeError: Object 1372224 has no method 'split' illigion.js:18

Uncaught TypeError: Object 19194 has no method 'split' illigion.js:18

Uncaught TypeError: Object 5789858 has no method 'split' illigion.js:18

It voids both duration & view no matter which I use or where I put it, as is.

In that case, `data.data.viewCount` isn't a string - can you post what the contents of that are? Drop this into the script:

console.log('dataa ' + typeof data); data.data &amp;&amp; console.log('data.dataa ' + typeof data.data); data.data.viewCount &amp;&amp; console.log('data.data.viewCounta ' + typeof data.data.viewCount + ', and its value is: ' + data.data.viewCount);

"data is a object"

"data data is a object"

"data data viewCount is a number, and its value is: 137224"

Oh, wait! I don't think viewCount was what I was thinking about. Back to duration, the error is being caused from that!

.html( new TimeFormatter( data.data.viewCount ).in_seconds() );

Ahaha, I'm not sure why I latched on to `.viewCount` there - that's my bad. Change it to `.duration` (ie. put it on the line above, which has duration) and that should work.

$("#yt_time-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html( new TimeFormatter( data.data.duration ).in_seconds() );

or

var video_duration = new TimeFormatter( data.data.duration );
$("#yt_time-&lt;?php echo get_the_ID(); ?&gt;").html( video_duration.in_seconds() );

Haha, still no bueno. :p

Here, try it without PHP and using a direct url on YouTube! :D

$(document).ready(function () {
function TimeFormatter (time) {
this.base_time = time;
}

TimeFormatter.prototype = {

in_seconds: function () {
var seconds = 0,
multiplier = 1/60;

time = this.base_time.split(':');
while (time.length)
{
seconds += (multiplier *= 60) * parseInt( time.pop() );
}

return seconds;
}

};

$.getJSON('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bCQKlK7WhTM?v=2&alt=jsonc',function(data,status,xhr/ new code
var video_duration = new TimeFormatter( data.data.duration );
$("#yt_time").html( video_duration.in_seconds() );
// end new code
$("#yt_views").html(data.data.viewCount);
});
});

var seconds = 210,
multiplier = 1/60,
time = '3:30';

time = time.split(':');
while (time.length)
{
seconds += (multiplier *= 60) * parseInt( time.pop() );
}




&lt;div id="yt_time"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id="yt_views"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Sorry but you want to convert 210 to 3:30 or the other way around?

210 to 3:30

Check out the API data and find "duration"

O_o Apparently I read it totally wrong, my code converts the other way - 3:30 to 210. If this is still waiting for an answer when I get home, I'll sit down and write it.

Haha it's okay. Yea, I'm still in a confusion on it here. I'm definitely going to need some help on that and maybe writing commas on the view count to make it a little more readable.

here it is:

function formatDuration(duration){
    //We only accept numbers
    if(typeof duration != "number"){
        return;
    }

    var pad = function(n){return n &lt; 10 ? "0" + n : "" + n},
        timeComponents = [], multiplier = 3600;

    //Compute the value of each component (hours, minute, seconds)
    for(; multiplier != 0; multiplier = parseInt(multiplier / 60)){
        var component = parseInt(duration / multiplier);
        duration %= multiplier;

        //If hours equal to 0, do not add them.
        if(multiplier == 3600 &amp;&amp; component == 0){
            continue;
        }

        timeComponents.push(component);
    }

    //Pad each component (2 -&gt; 02)
    for(var i = 0; i &lt; timeComponents.length; i++){
        var padded = pad(timeComponents[i]);
        timeComponents[i] = padded;
    }

    return timeComponents.join(":");
}

tell me if you want some tweaks. It converts seconds to hours:minutes:seconds format, e.g. 51823 -> 14:23:43

PHP version

&lt;?php

function formatDuration($duration){
	$duration = intval($duration);
	if(!$duration) return;

	$result = array();
	if($duration &gt;= 3600) {
		// Hours
		$result[] = str_pad(floor($duration / 3600),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
		$duration = $duration % 3600;
	}
	$result[] = str_pad(floor($duration / 60),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
	$result[] = str_pad($duration % 60,2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);

	return implode($result, ':');
}

	$result[] = str_pad($duration % 60,2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);

	return implode($result, ':');
}

Won't that only work if I had a PHP version of the jQuery JSON function?

    • Samsung could unveil its Galaxy XR headset ‘Project Moohan' in September by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar Next month, Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7, the Galaxy Z Flip7, and an affordable Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, along with the Galaxy Watch8 series. However, the launches don't end there. A fresh report out of South Korea hints that Samsung could launch its much-awaited Galaxy XR augmented reality headset in September. The company has codenamed its first XR headset as "Project Moohan," which translates to "Project Infinite." Samsung has already showcased the Galaxy XR headset a few times in the past. In fact, popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee - also known as MKBHD -, got his hands on the Galaxy XR and revealed interesting details about the upcoming device. The Galaxy XR is rumored to come with a sharper display compared to the Apple Vision Pro and run on Google's new operating system for AR and VR headsets, the Android XR. Fast forward to now, Korean publication Newspim reports that Samsung is ready to launch the Galaxy XR headset on September 29 in its home country. Notably, the headset will be unveiled at an Unpacked event and later will go on sale on October 13. Globally, the Galaxy XR headset is expected to launch soon afterwards, though any specific date isn't mentioned. Additionally, the report suggests that fans can expect more teaser videos and prototypes of the headset at the upcoming Unpacked event for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7. The report also spills some details about the specifications of the Galaxy XR headset. Under the hood, it could run on Qualcomm's new XR2+ Gen 2 chip, made using Samsung's 4nm process. Samsung is also expected to introduce tight integration with its Galaxy ecosystem to offer a connected experience. It will be interesting to see how Samsung holds up against the likes of Meta, which already dominates the XR market, while Apple struggles with high Vision Pro prices.
