I am scanning VLC player.

When I am scanning for "00:04" (it represents current time of video file) without quotation marks of course, I am finding it. Unicode checkbox is not checked.

But if I am trying to scan for 0x30303a3034 (hex representation of "00:04") I can't find it. I use value type 4 bytes, Hex checkbox is checked.

Question: Why I can't find 0x30303a3034 when I am finding "00:04"?

Thanks!
Array of bytes finds it.
As far as I understand in little endian I should search for 0x303A303000000034 but when scanning cant find anything.
Which hex number should I scan for when scanning for 4 byte Value type to find 00:00 representation?

When you find the right address with the array of bytes scan, change the type of the address you got into 4 bytes and hexadecimal view.
It will say how the value is read in 4 bytes standard.

Anyway, generally, if in memory viewer the address stores something like:

Sorry, but I can't post images, so I posted my post to pastebin: pastebin_com/YKueMPYF

Ok, you are not searching the right value because 4byte has a limit of size that you are not considering.
First of all, there's no reason to use the 4 byte scan over the array of bytes for cases like this.
Second of all, 4 bytes, as the name suggest, can only get to a size of 4 bytes max. Inputting 5 bytes would not work.
What you can do is add an address manually, add the address you found with array of bytes, but selecting a 4 byte type for it.
Still, I consider this useless, you can't change the whole timer with a 4 byte value.

Can you please say from screenshots which 4 bytes hex number I should scan for to find in 0x03442C5A address?
