Answer 1

If you want to convert Unix time duration to real hours, minutes, and seconds, you could use the following code:

var hours = Math.floor(timestamp / 60 / 60);
var minutes = Math.floor((timestamp - hours * 60 * 60) / 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timestamp - hours * 60 * 60 - minutes * 60 );
var duration = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
