So for some time now I am trying to make a proper shuffle script, using the youtube api, in order to play my youtube playlist.
I've found a lot of examples, but none of them seem to be working very well. Some do shuffle the list but not the first song being played, and some do the precise opposite.
What I would like is to shuffle the full playlist and then start playing. So the first played song should be random and the next one played should be random/shuffled as well.
Ive found the script below to shuffle the playlist. However the first song played is not shuffled. Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks a million!

This works using youtube api. and users youtube created play list . shuffles the play list into new order every time page is refreshes
Load YT-player API.
Load YT-playlist user playlist id "**.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo16_*******"
To Shuffle playlist use > player.setShuffle(true);
To Start YT-player at video 1 in shuffled playlist use > player.playVideoAt(0)

You can create iframe through java script and control player through buttons as stop.

I'd like to create a website that allows users to upload video to a YouTube channel and also embeds those YouTube videos into my website. Is this possible using YouTube's API? How would I go about learning how to do this? I am familiar with HTML5/CSS3 and Python and am acquainted with Java and JavaScript. Any advice is very appreciated.
Did you try ?
YouTube API
YouTube API has python API that allow you to use YouTube at your site
Below is sample page using JavaScript to invoke the YouTube Player to play video embedded in a web page. The sample shows how to play just one video and how to queue several videos and then play them. The sample plays a default video automatically when the page is loaded. When a video is finished playing, the default video is played.

I am currently building a Custom Receiver for our planned Chromecast app.
I need to display YouTube videos on the TV, alongside other photos and info that our app includes.
However, whenever a YouTube iframe embed is played on screen, after a few minutes (min 2, max 15) the Chromecast completely freezes up (including the Dev Tools debugger), and eventually just resets itself.
The issue can be reproduced every time, on multiple Chromecasts, on various videos, using this super simple test page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Youtube Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YE7VzlLtp-4?autoplay=1" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or a solution to this?
The included timeline [1] shows that the iframe stops fetching frames via AJAX and shortly after the whole thing crashes.

I do have following code where i want to play youtube video when button is clicked.
I have iframe code for youtube.
<script>
var player = document.getElementById("myplayer");
//Create a simple function and check if player exists
function play() {
if(player) {
player.playVideo();
}
}
</script>
<iframe id="myplayer" width="500" height="500" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/C-VoyCDUvr0?rel=0&wmode=Opaque&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Play Youtube Video
But it does not play when i click on button / link
I put script code in head part of html and iframe and anchor link in body part of html.
Am i missing anything?
Here I gave the example of two players:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="divPlayer1"></div>
<div id="divPlayer2"></div>
<script>
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
var player1;
var player2;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player1 = new YT.Player('divPlayer1', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: 'iZYIsJ9i5yE',});
player2 = new YT.Player('divPlayer2', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: 'J7rKAKipj8s',});
}
function play1() {
player1.playVideo();
}
function play2() {
player2.playVideo();
}
</script>
Play Youtube Video1
Play Youtube Video2
</body>
</html>
There probably is no iframe#myplayer yet when your script is run. Move the definition of player inside the function like this:
function play() {
var player = document.getElementById("myplayer"); // Moved here
if(player) {
player.playVideo();
}
}
That should work.
Edit: That latter link seems to suggest you do this instead:
var player; // Might not be necessary
function onYouTubePlayerReady(playerId) {
player = document.getElementById("myplayer");
}
function play() {
if(player) {
player.playVideo();
}
}
<script>
function toggleVideo(state) {
var iframe = document.getElementById("myplayer").contentWindow;
func = state == 'hide' ? 'pauseVideo' : 'playVideo';
iframe.postMessage('{"event":"command","func":"' + func + '","args":""}', '*');
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.youtube.com/player_api"></script>
<!-- popup and contents -->
<iframe id="myplayer" width="500" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C-VoyCDUvr0?enablejsapi=1"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Play Youtube Video
This is the working code with one play. Should be altered only by videoId: 'iZYIsJ9i5yE' whity our videoId in youtube:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="player"></div>
<script>
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
var player1;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player1 = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: 'iZYIsJ9i5yE',});
}
function play1() {
player1.playVideo();
}
</script>

Use this iframe and change your youtube link. I hope it will work surely. It is working on my website.
