Obtaining duration before playback

I saw some older articles referring to this, but I couldn't find anything that works.

I am trying to obtain the duration of the video prior to playback, which I would then send to the database.
Is it because the new version? (I have a paid version 7.0.0)

I tried using this:

events:{
onReady: function() {
this.play();
this.pause();
duration = this.getDuration();
}
}

but it never pauses.

I also tried "autostart:true" and then calling "this.pause()" in onReady, but that also doesn't work.
