I have a page with an embedded youtube video. I want to keep part of the control bar - the part that shows progress and that the user can drag back and forth. But I don't want to keep the pause/play feature of the control bar. Is there a way to do that?
If you a Youtube Javascript API if you can play and stopping and video from code at the events that you want! See the docs...

on this page, the video at the top of the page does not display an image unlike the video located on the side bar.
When play is pressed, there is no playback problem.
But my visitors may not click on the video thinking it doesn't work.
How can I make it appear?
the original video is here
The javascript code is here
The thumbnail sddefault isn't loading for an unknown reason for video VnWbJbtsyv4. However hqdefault seems to be working. So use https://img.youtube.com/vi/VnWbJbtsyv4/hqdefault.jpg instead of https://img.youtube.com/vi/VnWbJbtsyv4/sddefault.jpg.

It is in frame where i am blocking upper bar but the issue is with the lower bar where still there is possibility to click (second mouse button) and copy link. The same is when video is paused.
It is possible to disable it without blocking possibility to play/pause and full screen play?

Just a quick question on this and how I can get a youtube video to stop playing when exiting a modal.
We have this homepage slider > https://www.bababing.com/
You can see that when you click on a tile in the slider it opens and starts playing the video. However, when you exit it still plays the video.
Is there anyway we can stop his happening that anyone knows of?
We are using fancy box to open the lightbox area.
Upon the video opening I also want it to autoplay the videos
Any thoughts would be fantastic
Thanks,
Glen
You have youtube player code inside inline content, but the script literally moves your content into the modal and puts back after closing. Therefore, if user interacts with your content, it stays the same after closing the modal.
You have several options:
1) You could use Youtube API to stop/start videos after content is displayed/hidden;
2) Display cloned version of your content (e.g., something like $.fancybox.open( $('my-element').clone(true) ); ), but then you probably still would need to use Youtube API to start video;
3) Build your own content on click event - something like $.fancybox.open( 'there will be youtube iframe code with autoplay option and something more' ); - this way you will avoid messing with Youtube API
4) Use direct links to Youtube like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sI_Ps7JSEk&autoplay=1 - the script will then parse it and load inside iframe automatically
I searched for quiet some time… Seems like that embedded youtube videos really need the "human click" to increase the views on the YT profile. Tried some things with the API given from YT… no luck so far.
Does the mediaelement.js do the magic?
here is the answer from the YT js doc:
Note: A playback only counts toward a video's official view count if it is initiated via a native play button in the player.
You can't use your own play button or enable autoplay if you want the stats... Tried it, the best way is to use the "native" youtube player with minimal UI and let the users click the "native" play button ...
I want to embed youtube video in my website. My requirement is that the player should have only three options: play, pause and refresh. I want to disable the progressbar slider so that viewer can not move forward or backward.
I used the parameter "controls=0", but it removes the progressbar completely. I just want to disable the dragging functionality.
Anybody knows how to do this?
setting autohide=2 should do it.
