How can I measure view duration with Jwplayer 6.9 and Google Analytics?

I've got jwplayer 6.9 in place, with the basic ga{} setup. I can see the Play and Complete events being pushed to GA, but I really need to alse be able to tell the duration of the views. There appears to be a built-in "custom dimension" in GA for "Video Watch Duration". Is there a standard/known way to get jwplayer to feed that info to GA?

You can use our JavaScript API to track any custom events to GA (for example, a video completes using onComplete).

Yeah, I've read through all of this, and generally get the concept, but I'm not sure what it is I'd push and when to track duration of play, in particular for live streams.

Well live streams don’t have a duration.

You can use getDuration() , though.
