Why do some movies in my library display with the hour/min format but some only in min format, e.g. some show as a runtime of 1 hour 30 mins but some show as 90 minutes? Why the inconsistency?
Good question, love to know.
Look closer. You may find that one has e.g. 89:45 min while the other has 1:30:19 h runtime.
Look at the actual runtime of the video file, including seconds, in the plex media info.
Will that explain the differing Metadata displayed?
You may find that one has e.g. 89:45 min while the other has 1:30:19 h runtime.
i.e one has actually below 90 minutes runtime while the other is above.
So the limiter is 90 Minutes
It appears so.
Probably because a runtime of e.g. 1:10 hr just looks weird. I guess it’s a tradtitional thing to use only minutes for runtimes below of 90 minutes.
Ok, it never accrued to me that it looked odd 1hr 5min. Then if you look at metric measurements
2 Meter 5 cm, rather than 205cm. I see the point somehow.
Then again in imperial 2 feet and 3 inch does not, it’s very subjective.
True, but that is what has been decided for Plex.
