Trying to convert seconds to minutes Topic is solved

[RedFeather]

Trying to convert seconds to minutes, making an mp3 player. Im very new to programming so im sorry for sloppiness and general bad coding.
This is just snippets, if more is needed just let me know
Thanks in advance to all

Code: Select all

Global AV2	:= ComObjCreate("WMPlayer.OCX") 

Gui 1: Add, Edit, c00FFFF x525 y134 w45 h20 vdisplayV2 ReadOnly +Center, 00.00

SongDuration()
{
	Global
	CurrentMedia := AV2.newMedia( Song_Dir Song )
	AV2duration := CurrentMedia.getItemInfo( "duration" )
	AV2duration /= 60			
	GuiControl,, displayV2, %  format("{:0.2f}", AV2duration)  				;; Ive tried many of the obvious things atleast to me, format time, format seconds function ive found. The closest thing i can get is the lame AV2duration  /= 60  
}

FormatSeconds(NumberOfSeconds)  ; Convert the specified number of seconds to hh:mm:ss format.    		;; Mentioned above
{
    time = 19990101  ; *Midnight* of an arbitrary date.
    time += %NumberOfSeconds%, seconds
    FormatTime, mmss, %time%, mm:ss
    return NumberOfSeconds//3600 ":" mmss
    /*
    ; Unlike the method used above, this would not support more than 24 hours worth of seconds:
    FormatTime, hmmss, %time%, h:mm:ss
    return hmmss
    */
}

I'd guess it would help to post your full code?!

Trying to convert seconds to minutes

The FormatSeconds function that you posted converts seconds to hours:minutes:seconds. If that's not what you want, let us know exactly what you do want. Regards, Joe

[RedFeather]

Very well here is the full code. Again my problem is when i use CurrentMedia := AV2.newMedia( Song_Dir Song ) - AV2duration := CurrentMedia.getItemInfo( "duration" ) it returns in seconds i want to convert the seconds to minutes.

it returns in seconds i want to convert the seconds to minutes

I haven't looked at the code you posted, but what exactly do you want for "minutes"? For example, suppose the number of seconds is 165. Do you want the conversion to yield 2 (minutes truncated)? Or 3 (minutes rounded)? Or 2.75 (minutes with decimal places)? Or 2:45 (mm:ss)? Or something else?

[garry]

example , seconds to > hh:mm:ss

Code: Select all

acc:=165
SetFormat, float, 02
hours1   := (acc//3600)
minutes1 := (acc - hours1 * 3600)// 60
seconds1 := (acc - hours1 * 3600 - minutes1 * 60)
hours1  +=0.00
minutes1+=0.00
seconds1+=0.00
acc=%hours1%:%minutes1%:%seconds1%
msgbox,%acc%
return

[JoeWinograd]

example , seconds to > hh:mm:ss

Hi Garry,
The FormatSeconds function in RedFeather's first post already does that conversion, i.e., seconds to hh:mm:ss...question is...is that what he wants? If not, what conversion does he want? Regards, Joe

[garry]

aargh, yes , sorry , maybe he don't know how to use the function
otherwise use my complicated script and then use Guicontrol to display hh:mm:ss
but the easiest way is , how to use the function ...

I would just like it to display the standard mm:ss, I apologize if im not saying it in a correct way or just not being clear. So for example I play a 4 min 44 sec song, this particular bit "getItemInfo( "duration" )" will return 266.4 seconds. Ive not found a way to format the returned seconds in to mm:ss. I thought it would have been as simple as dividing the returned seconds by 60, the problem there is that it doesnt recognize that 60 seconds = 1 minute, it counts to 100 then rolls over. There could be a easy solution for this I just dont know it or how to achieve it. Again sorry if it sounds like i dont know what im talking about, thats because i dont.

don't know how to use the function

Hi Garry,
You may be right! Your comment inspired me to look at the code he posted and, sure enough, there is no call to the FormatSeconds function in it.

Hi RedFeather,
Based on garry's excellent comment, I noticed that you do not call the FormatSeconds function anywhere in your full code...you must do that to perform the conversion of seconds. Here's a code snippet showing how to do it (using the FormatSeconds function as you posted it):

Code: Select all

Seconds:=165
hms:=FormatSeconds(Seconds)
MsgBox % hms
ExitApp

FormatSeconds(NumberOfSeconds)
{
    time = 19990101  ; *Midnight* of an arbitrary date.
    time += %NumberOfSeconds%, seconds
    FormatTime, mmss, %time%, mm:ss
    return NumberOfSeconds//3600 ":" mmss
}

Regards, Joe

Thank you Garry and Joe!!! This works but it returns like this 0.000000:02:58 The very last bit 2:58 is correct for the song!!!!! How would i remove the first bit thought?

[garry]

must remove at least this or try example from JoeWinograd
AV2duration:=165 ;<- this was for test

AV2duration:=165 ;<- this was for test

Thank you garry you were both right, i just dont know what im doing i.e i dont know how to use the function. So this works it just returns the hour as well it looks like 0.000000:02:58. How do i tell it to leave the hour out or make it to where to hour doesnt display so many zeros?

Code: Select all

	CurrentMedia := AV2.newMedia( Song_Dir Song )
	AV2duration := CurrentMedia.getItemInfo( "duration" )
	Seconds:=AV2duration
	ms:=FormatSeconds(Seconds)
	MsgBox % ms
	GuiControl,, displayV2, % 	ms

example , seconds to > hh:mm:ss

Code: Select all

acc:=165
SetFormat, float, 02
hours1   := (acc//3600)
minutes1 := (acc - hours1 * 3600)// 60
seconds1 := (acc - hours1 * 3600 - minutes1 * 60)
hours1  +=0.00
minutes1+=0.00
seconds1+=0.00
acc=%hours1%:%minutes1%:%seconds1%
msgbox,%acc%
return

WOOWOO!! Got your code to work!! Seriously Thank you to Joe and Garry!! You guys are awesome. This works!

Code: Select all

	
	CurrentMedia := AV2.newMedia( Song_Dir Song )
	AV2duration := CurrentMedia.getItemInfo( "duration" )
	SetFormat, float, 02
	hours1   := (AV2duration//3600)
	minutes1 := (AV2duration - hours1 * 3600)// 60
	seconds1 := (AV2duration - hours1 * 3600 - minutes1 * 60)
	hours1  +=0.00
	minutes1+=0.00
	seconds1+=0.00
	AV2duration=%hours1%:%minutes1%:%seconds1%
	;msgbox,%acc%
	GuiControl,, displayV2, % AV2duration

EDIT : I see it works , if wanted can remove the variable 'hours1'
I get here the correct result ( without the dot , dot must be removed maybe with stringreplace )

Code: Select all

acc:=00000165
SetFormat, float, 02
hours1   := (acc//3600)
minutes1 := (acc - hours1 * 3600)// 60
seconds1 := (acc - hours1 * 3600 - minutes1 * 60)
hours1  +=0.00
minutes1+=0.00
seconds1+=0.00
acc=%minutes1%:%seconds1%
msgbox,%acc%
;GuiControl,1:,displayV2, %aac%
return

it returns like this 0.000000:02:58

The FormatSeconds function that you posted does not return that. Try the code snippet that I posted with Seconds:=178 — you'll see that it returns 0:02:58.

There are many ways to achieve objectives in AutoHotkey (or any programming language). Before I saw Garry's last post, I wrote this new FormatSeconds function for you that takes a different approach:

Code: Select all

; test calls on the new FormatSeconds function
Seconds:=3778
hms:=FormatSeconds(Seconds)
MsgBox % hms ; should show 1:02:58
Seconds:=178
hms:=FormatSeconds(Seconds)
MsgBox % hms ; should show 02:58
Seconds:=58
hms:=FormatSeconds(Seconds)
MsgBox % hms ; should show 00:58
ExitApp

FormatSeconds(NumberOfSeconds)
{
  If (NumberOfSeconds<=0)
    Return 0
  Hours:=NumberOfSeconds//3600
  If (Hours=0)
    Hours:=""
  Else
    Hours:=Hours . ":"
  Seconds:=Mod(NumberOfSeconds,3600)
  Minutes:=Seconds//60
  Seconds:=Mod(NumberOfSeconds,60)
  Seconds:=SubStr("00" . Seconds,-1) ; force Seconds to two digits
  Minutes:=SubStr("00" . Minutes,-1) ; force Minutes to two digits
  Return Hours . Minutes . ":" . Seconds
}

@JoeWinograd - Thx for sharing your code I've reduced a few lines of it.

Code: Select all

; test calls on the new FormatSeconds function
MsgBox % hms:=frmSec(3778)		; should show 01:02:58
MsgBox % hms:=frmSec(178)		; should show    02:58
MsgBox % hms:=frmSec(58)		; should show	 00:58
ExitApp

frmSec(noSec) {
	If (noSec<=0)
		Return 0
	Hours	:= (noSec//3600 = 0) ? "" : Format("{:02}", noSec//3600) . ":"	; force Hours to two digits
	Seconds := Format("{:02}", Mod(noSec,60))								; force Seconds to two digits
	Minutes := Format("{:02}", Mod(noSec,3600)//60) 						; force Minutes to two digits
	Return Hours . Minutes . ":" . Seconds
	}

Thank you for taking the time to do this!! Works great!
