Sample length issue?

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.

When I try to add an audio sample, regardless its length, I will always get the length of the sample as 0ms. The extension is already .ogg, and I used AFP to open the sample. How can I fix this? I'm also new to LMMS, I'm just learning how it works.

That is strange -Are you using Nightly?
Please let us know what LMMS version you have and from where.

Besides that, since you are new in Forum

Maybe you can use a video about AFP

As you say tou are new to LMMS and maybe also to DAWs in general(?) perhaps my video Rookie-guide can be useful for you. Link in my signature!

I'm new to DAWs in general. I'm using LMMS 1.2.2 on macOS.

Im sorry -I know nothing about MAC, but i am not aware of a bug on MAC that would cause your problem.
Could you try and do this:
Open sidebar | My-samples
Browse to: Drums
In that folder find CB_Clap
Drag that into Song-editor
Take a screen-shot of the AudioFileProcessor (AFP) and post it here. How to post screen-shots is explained here: http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
I will also talk with our MAC expert, and see if he know something about any bug.
I would also like you to watch a video around AFP function and settings. Just to rule out that you have configurated AFP in a wrong way:
