Is there a way to get it to actually parse the playlist files so it can find the actual audio files to calculate the duration?

Moving the files into Calibre isn't a viable solution for me — I use AudioBookShelf to stream my audiobooks, so the files need to be in a specific directory for it to find them — but I do like to track all information about a book, including a playlist link to it, in Calibre.

TIA!
Audiobook Duration only calculates the audios inside the caliber folder.

Currently does not look for paths inside .m3u or .pls files or other files.
