View time elapsed in foobar2000

Question

I am using foobar2000 music player. How can display the time elapsed of currently playing song?

Solution

CLick on File -> Preferences.

Expand Display -> Default User Interface. Under status bar add %playback_time_remaining% to whichever position you want.

This is how mine looks:

The status bar code:

%codec% | %bitrate% kbps | %samplerate% Hz | %channels% | %playback_time% / [-%playback_time_remaining% / %length%]

I tried to use %playback_time% in Display → Default User Interface → Playlist View → Custom columns: it displays '?' sign in playlist. %playback_time_remaining% and %played_length% are not working as well. Foobar 1.1.7. Ideas?

@dma_k if the length of the song is not available, both will not work. Try for few other songs

It turned out to be %_length% macro. Damn, it's difficult to find right solution in Google, as each reference lead to different solution, which depends on something I can't understand (FooBar version? module? moon phase?)

The dynamic values (as playback time) are not available in columns, nor in tray icon notification balloon.
