I'm trying to play a youtube video in my iOS app using "YTPlayerView".
My aim is to play video in fullscreen, don't show any controls, and close it on the first tap to the screen.
If I play video inline, everything works properly, but in fullscreen control-bars appear. However, if I close fullscreen with its button (on the bottom right), controls disappear.
var playerVars = [AnyHashable : Any]()
playerVars["enablejsapi"] = 1
playerVars["rel"] = 0
playerVars["fs"] = 0
playerVars["controls"] = 0
playerVars["iv_load_policy"] = 3
playerVars["modestbranding"] = 1
playerVars["playsinline"] = 0
playerVars["showinfo"] = 0
self.playerView.load(withVideoId: videoId, playerVars: playerVars)
Any help will be very appreciated to solve this issue.
Image about full screen with control-bars
"rel" and "info" depricated. Try this -
"playsinline"
This parameter controls whether videos play inline or fullscreen in an HTML5 player on iOS. Valid values are:
0: This value causes fullscreen playback. This is currently the default value, though the default is subject to change.
1: This value causes inline playback for UIWebViews created with the allowsInlineMediaPlayback property set to TRUE.

As question suggested i want to hide the play/Pause button from "Youtube" player.
I am using
https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper
and setting the playerVars parameter like this:
let playerVars = [
"controls" : 0,
"playsinline" : 1,
"autohide" : 0,
"showinfo" : 0,
"modestbranding" : 0
]
The three parameters I found useful are:
showinfo=0
controls=0
autohide=1
showinfo=0 makes sure the video does not display the title on the top of the video frame.
controls=0 hides the bottom bar with the play button, volume, etc.
autohide=1 hides the controls until you hover over them, which is probably the most useful.
All the official docs are here.
But you can use embed with custom CSS to hide or adjust he location of the Play button.
button.ytp-large-play-button.ytp-button {
display: none;
}
the problem is when the user switch to fullscreen video and then coming back the NavBar of the NavigationWindow is pushed upwards to the size of the status bar and remains there.
The only solution for me that worked is to close and reopen the MainNavigationWindow. and this couldn't be the final solution.
more hint's from me:
z-index of the Video View is higher than the others.
fullscreen vor the app and hiding the NavBar and StatusBar is disabled in the tiapp.xml.
fullscreen for the MainNavigationWindow and it's Main Window is disabled in the
.tss Files.
It looks like this will be all ignored.
The Fullscreen Signal from the VideoPlayer is fired and pushes the navbar to the size of the status bar upward.
After the fullscreen exit remains the navbar at the position.
And under the navbar remains a black gap in the size of the StatusBar.

}
Meanwhile, I've developed two workarounds resolve or bypass this error.
First one (Hide the status bar permanently in the app.)
tiapp.xml (add key: UIStatusBarHidden value: true)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ti:app xmlns:ti="http://ti.appcelerator.org">
<ios>
<plist>
<dict>
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
</ios>
</ti:app>
The Second one (Reload the NavigationWindow on leaving the Fullscreen)
Quick example:
videoPlayer.addEventListener('fullscreen', function(e) {
if (e.entering == 0) {
Ti.API.info("Get out of fullscreen");
playbackTime = videoPlayer.getCurrentPlaybackTime();
playing = videoPlayer.getPlaying();
// Fixes The MenuBar Gap
Alloy.Globals.mainNavigationWindow.close();
Alloy.Globals.mainNavigationWindow.open();
// Wait until Video is ready
while (videoPlayer.getLoadState() != 3) {}
// set initial Start time to last play time
videoPlayer.setCurrentPlaybackTime(playbackTime);
// checks if the Video was playing
if (playing) {
Ti.API.info("start playing again");
videoPlayer.play();
}
} else {
Ti.API.info("Get in fullscreen");
}
});
That looks like a valid bug. Please check if it is a known issue you can watch or else create a ticket with reproducible steps/environment/code so we can reproduce and fix it.
For those who still look for a solution like me, an alternative solution is to stream your video through a local HTML5 player and open it with a web view, that's the best solution i've found for this problem until it's fixed.
I would like to use Greasemonkey to access some API objects of youtube videos while I'm in fullscreen mode.
It could be useful to have mouse clicks and position relative to screen.
This, to detect fullscreen mode, doesn't work:
window.fullScreen
I tried also to add mouse event detection to yt player, with this:
var player = document.getElementById('movie_player');
player.addEventListener("click", interceptClicks,true);
but it doesn't fire that func.
I tried also to inject some code like this:
function GM_main () {
var playerNode = document.getElementById ("movie_player");
playerNode.addEventListener ('click', interceptClicks ,false);
}
addJS_Node (null, null, GM_main);
function addJS_Node (text, s_URL, funcToRun, runOnLoad) {
var D = document;
var scriptNode = D.createElement ('script');
if (runOnLoad) {
scriptNode.addEventListener ("load", runOnLoad, false);
}
scriptNode.type = "text/javascript";
if (text) scriptNode.textContent = text;
if (s_URL) scriptNode.src = s_URL;
if (funcToRun) scriptNode.textContent = '(' + funcToRun.toString() + ')()';
var targ = D.getElementsByTagName ('head')[0] || D.body || D.documentElement;
targ.appendChild (scriptNode);
}
I tried also to make a:
window.addEventListener('click', interceptClicks, false);
This works, BUT only in all areas different from the youtube flash player in non-fullscreen mode and in fullscreen mode, obviously none area, as there is only the player visible...
EDIT:
I made a partial progress indeed.
I created a button element with
btn.addEventListener("click", function () { player.mozRequestFullScreen();}, false)
This way flash video enters in Firefox fullscreen mode and so it receives the wheel events fired by the
window.addEventlistener('DOMMouseScroll', .....etc)
Besides, the fullscreen mode is detected by
window.fullScreen
Also, all keys (event) are detectable, but ESC; not again the mouse clicks..
There is a drawback:
Once in fullscreen, SOMETIMES if you click the left mouse button it suddenly exits fullscreen mode... SOMETIMES instead it stays normally full...
To exit it's not sufficient to press ESC, you need to press the normal flash fullscreen button on the lower right + ESC.
Some rare times it blocks itself in Fullscreen mode and you can't exit. You should press ctrl+alt+canc and then it appears firefox "block script" dialog box.
Why that odd behaviour and how to prevent it?
Ideally the best should be: intercept mouse click on the lower right flash fullscreen button, block it, redirect the call to mozFullscreen and block the fullscreen mode until you press ESC.
But I dont' think it's possible, is it?
Is there a way to with the youtube api to hide the player controls when the user hovers out?
I current have the code when a user clicks it plays:
$("#container.click-to-play-video").click(function(){
player = new YT.Player('player', {
width : '960',
height : '600',
videoId : 'PnHCKXe6ttU',
playerVars: { 'autoplay': 1 , 'controls': 0 },
events : {
'onReady' : onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange' : onPlayerStateChange
}
});
});
But I only want the controls to play when the user enters with the mouse. Is it possible?
There is a player parameter "autohide" (docs: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#autohide) which determines if the controls will hide during playback.
Setting that parameter to "1" will allow the controls to slide out of view when the video is playing and the user stops hovering over the video, which I believe is what you want to achieve.
You cannot force the controls to slide in or out at specific moments through code, or change the player parameters (such as the 'controls' parameter) once the player is created.
If you need very precise control over the display of the controls, then you would need to set controls=0 and create your own set of controls for the video.
Creating an iOS app in which press a button open a window by sliding it to the right. However, if I go from portrait mode to landscape or vice-versa; and then I if I press the button, the window slides in from top left for the first time instead of sliding form the left.
How can I fix this ?
Code :
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({left:0});
var slideLeft = Titanium.UI.createAnimation();
slideLeft.left = 0;
slideLeft.duration = 200;
var slide_it_right = Titanium.UI.createAnimation();
slide_it_right.left = -320;
slide_it_right.duration = 300;
button.addEventListener('click',function(){
win.open(slideLeft);
});
win.addEventListener('swipe',function(){
win.close(slideRight);
});
