Hiya there

There is a issue with the way the duration is returning. I don't know whether it is a bug or what exactly it is. For a video like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUt5kzEoOp4 which is 8:05 minutes long, it returns 8:5. It doesn't return any zeros nor does it return in seconds as it says on your readme

What exactly am I supposed to do and is there a setting that can fix this???

Thanks

There are no telepathists here. Clearly explain what are you doing.

I am calling a video and getting the JSON file and the duration array it returns for a video of duration 8:05 returns 8:5, meaning it doesn't include zeros. https://gyazo.com/46a637777ff973a9522ac17b87610667 is what it returns for the video I just explained. It returns wthout zeros
