I have a folder with 10000s of video files(>1TB) of different formats (mkv, mp4, etc). Are you aware of any software that can scan the folder and present the runtime? I do not need any other metadata, only how long it would take to play them all.

I tried:

Windows file properties: Works but needs that I filter manually, it is not easily scrip table
MediaInfo: Seems to crash when I load the folder
I read somewhere that FFprobe may be able to help but my initial attempt was not successful. I'll have to re-iterate and try again
