Expo sound, how to get the duration of a sound

Question

I have a sound object whose duration I need

this.soundObject = new Audio.Sound();
await this.soundObject.loadAsync(sound);

I've tried this, however the documentation says it only works for recordings.

this.soundObject.durationMillis

Is there something I'm overlooking? I can't seem to find a parameter for the duration.

Answer 1

The duration is stored in the status, it needs a promise to access

 this.soundObject.getStatusAsync()
      .then(function(result) {
        console.log(result.durationMillis)
      })
      .catch(failureCallback);
