Display the film duration & elapsed time during the whole movie

Hi! 
I am asking this for my friend: He has Just purchased a western digital elements play HDD + Mediaplayer:

We have the following problem: My friend would like to have displayed:

 the film duration & elapsed time during the whole movie

how is this possilble? Normally the lenght information disappears after some seconds.

Do I have to do a firmware update or install an alternative firmware?

BTW: Which alterntive firmware does exist which works for the WDE Play?

Thanks in advance for an anzwer:

Hi, don’t know if there is a modified firmware that allows you to do that, but on the default one that is not possible.
