I think onDuration is called too early for YouTube, as I'm occasionally seeing 0 returned. I might have been trying to be too clever by firing it in onReady and assuming that duration was available then.

player.getDuration():Number
Returns the duration in seconds of the currently playing video. Note that getDuration() will return 0 until the video's metadata is loaded, which normally happens just after the video starts playing.

Looks like we'll have to call onDuration after onPlay instead of onReady. I think in most use cases, videos are played as soon as they are loaded, so this should be fine.
