Kodi display Current time and duration in hour, minutes and seconds

Add-ons Bindings

Thanks to @cweitkamp as I looked for something like this not long ago and it helped me today. :smile: Nevertheless I would like to further elaborate the topic by adding a few details:

First of all, install the Javascript Transformation via Paper UI.

kodi.items

Number:Time myKodi_currenttime      "Current Time [JS(uptime.js):%s]"  { channel="kodi:kodi:myKodi:currenttime" }
Number:Time myKodi_duration         "Duration [JS(uptime.js):%s]"      { channel="kodi:kodi:myKodi:duration" }

uptime.js
(put into transform folder; all credits go to @KjetilA for his code; I have added the missing seconds to it and simplified it a bit :wink:)

(function(seconds) {
  var retval = "";
  var days = Math.floor(seconds / (24 * 60 * 60));
  seconds = seconds % (24 * 60 * 60);
  var hours = Math.floor(seconds / (60 * 60));
  seconds = seconds % (60 * 60);
  var minutes = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
  seconds = seconds % 60;

  if (days > 0) {
    retval += days + " day";
    if (days > 1) {
      retval += "s";
    }
    retval += " ";
  }

  retval += hours + ":";

  if (minutes < 10) {
    retval += "0";
  }
  retval += minutes + ":";

  if (seconds < 10) {
    retval += "0";
  }
  retval += seconds;

  return retval;
})(input);

I hope this helps. Of course there is a quite compact version of it as well (thanks to @Olymp; also without seconds).
