Steps to reproduce
- Create a new note
- Add mp3 files as attachments from this page: The Mindfulness and Meditation Workbook for Anxiety and Depression
- save the note.
- compare the durations of the audio files on the webpage above with what Obsidian reports. They will not match. Many of the times will be repeated from one mp3 attachment to others nearby. This is not consistent.
- when files are believed by Obsidian to be shorter than they are, they will not play past the length that Obsidian believes them to be.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y
Yes, I did troubleshoot these in the vault with all community plugins disabled in safe mode. I disabled the css snippets and applied the default theme.
Expected result
I expect that the lengths of the audio files to match the actual lengths.
I expect that the lengths reported by Obsidian are consistent from one viewing of the file to the next.
Actual result
The lengths of the files do not match the actual / originals from the source.
The lengths of the files change when reopening the app or the file. Sometimes they are believed to be longer; sometimes shorter. It appears to be taking one or more times of certain files and applying them to other attachments incorrectly.

Additional information
This only seems to happen on the Android app. I have opened the same note on the OSX app (same version) and it displays with correct durations.
Here are screenshots from the note - one with community plugins disabled and one without. Both show incorrect times, but not consistently incorrect times.
Here is a screenshot of the same note from OSX showing the correct times. That may give a hint about why times from other files are being repeated:
