Can't seem to get this to work in Sequoia 15.7.1
Actually amending this: while it works for on-disk files, it does not work for any files on an external volume, such as my media HDD. The same files, if on my Mac's internal SSD, show their runtimes just fine, but if on the external HDD, they do not show timestamps. Any advice on how to get this to work across all volumes connected to my Mac would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Clarifying further: thumbnails show up for MKV's, but not runtimes. Can't seem to find a setting that could change this anywhere. I've given full disk access, which should include external volumes, to Quicklook Video, but that only enabled thumbnail previews. Can't seem to get durations to show up like the MKVs on my internal SSD

This suggests that Spotlight indexing is disabled for that disk. You can check that in terminal with mdutil -sv /Volumes/name-of-disk.
If Spotlight is disabled you can turn it on with mdutil -i on /Volumes/name-of-disk. Also delete the hidden file /Volumes/name-of-disk/.metadata_never_index if it exists.
You can force Spotlight to re-index the entire disk with mdutil -E /Volumes/name-of-disk. Alternatively see https://github.com/Marginal/QLVideo/wiki/Troubleshooting#finder-doesnt-show-metadata-for-non-native-video-files for how to force reindexing of only the files handled by this app.
