Everything works great in chrome and ff. i have the code, and some function to stop the video on slide change (i have 4 videos on the page)
i have tried div with id and calling
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "http://www.youtube.com/player_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
var video1;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
video1 = new YT.Player('video1', {
width: videoWidth,
height: videoHeight,
videoId: '**VIDEOID**'
});
}
and i have tried having the Iframe in the source and than calling only
video1 = new YT.Player('video1');
within the onyoutubeplaterapiready
the error i get only on IE (i tested it on 8) is:
Message: Unspecified error.
Line: 49
Char: 5
Code: 0
URI: http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEOID?enablejsapi=1&origin=http://o
what can be done with that?
I know that I'm late with this but I had the same error, I was loading the YouTube player inside a modal and when I closed the modal I got the error on IE8. The thing was that I had registered "onStateChange" event in the API and when the modal was closed, and the player removed from the DOM, I got that error because that event was trying to communicate with an element that doesn't exist any more.

I am having a very frustrating experience trying to get videos to loop consistently using a basic iframe. I am not interacting with the API via code. I simply have an iframe with autoplay=1,mute=1,loop=1. I've tried using stand-alone videos and I've tried playlists (with list=[ID],listType=playlist) and I keep running into the same problem. Sometimes the player will loop the video and sometimes it will not. Every time I think I have it figured out and I'm ready to deploy the app, I test it again and the video fails to loop.
Windows 10
Chrome 71.0.3578.98
Angular 6.0.3
You can choose any of these options:
Check my answer where I described how you can set your URL for create a playlist (using a single videoId) and simulate a loop.
Use the YouTube iframe Player API for set your video and (once the video ended), call the playVideo() function for play the current video = hence, creating a loop.
This is the code: - unfortunately, you can't see it working here, but, you can see the working jsfiddle1
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// Variables of the divs (where the YouTube iframe will load):
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
// Div player:
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '360',
width: '640',
videoId: 'xPCZEoGJi_4',
playerVars: {
'autoplay': 1,
'loop': 1,
'mute': 1
},
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}
// 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
// When the video ends, it will play again.
// See: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference?hl=en#Events
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) {
player.playVideo();
}
}
// Div "player" - The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="player"></div>
1 If the video (once has loaded) hasn't play, you have to play manually the video - this is due some kind of restrictions that jsfiddle has.
I put a video player using the latest iFrame API from YouTube inside a website, however when I click a suggested video, instead of reusing the same player, it opens YouTube instead.
I didn't find any options to not make it go to YouTube each time, is there any?.
I used iframe API of youtube last month. I sometimes faced the same issue. But the issue was resolved by creating a iframe from the javascript. Please follow the below steps. I hope this will solve your problem.
Place a tag in your web page and write a javascript as shown below:
1 . Add a div element with id = "player" in your webpage.
<div id="player"></div>
In the Javascript part:
2. Add a script to load iframe player API
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
3.. Create an iframe.
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '320', //You can change height and width as needed
width: '480',
videoId: [video ID you want to load],
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange,
'onPlaybackQualityChange': onPlayerPlaybackQualityChange,
'onPlaybackRateChange': onPlayerPlaybackRateChange,
'onError': onPlayerError,
'onApiChange': onPlayerApiChange,
}
});
}
You can handle events by using the below functions.
function onPlayerStateChange(event){};
function onPlayerReady(event){};
function onPlayerPlaybackQualityChange(playbackQuality){};
function onPlayerPlaybackRateChange(playbackRate){};
function onPlayerError(e){};
function onPlayerApiChange(){};

I'm using iframe api (https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference)
I want to be able to pause/play and mute/unmute video through iframe api.
I've created a sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/ke73v0ov/
<iframe id="bg" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/o3z6h0EaIN0?&version=3&enablejsapi=1&autoplay=1&rel=0&autohide=1&controls=0&fs=0&iv_load_policy=3&loop=1&modestbranding=1&showinfo=0&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<script>
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
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 player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('bg', {
events: {
'onReady': function (event) {
event.target.setVolume(50);
}
}
});
}
function pauseVideo() {
player.pauseVideo();
}
function playVideo() {
player.playVideo();
}
</script>
Pause
Play
It works in Firefox and Chrome, but it doesn't in Internet Explorer (I've tested in IE11).
It says
Object doesn't support property or method 'pauseVideo'
(You can see error in Developer tools).
Please help.
Thank you.
So, I posted the same thing to Google.
It works now.
I'm still not sure if it was my computer or they did something.
When embedding a Youtube playlist I am getting this error:
Blocked a frame with origin "http://www.youtube.com" from accessing a frame with origin "http://www.mydomain.com". Protocols, domains, and ports must match.
I am not mixing HTTP with HTTPS anywhere, so I don't know why I am getting this error in the first place.
I have noticed that recently the Youtube embedded playlist is not displaying the embed image of the first video and just displaying a black screen with a 'Play All' button, and I am wondering if this is being caused by the above error.
Apparently it seems that the error given by chrome is a bug. In order to solve the black screen with 'Play All' button issue I used the Javascript API (instead of the iframe), like this:
<!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 player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: '',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady
}
});
}
function onPlayerReady(event) {
player.cuePlaylist({'listType':'playlist','list':'PLE2714DC8F2BA092D'});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Thanks to #jlmcdonald for the answer, as indicated here: Youtube embedded playlist diplays playall button instead of the first video
this issue is quite apparent to the Youtube service, basically Youtube can be only accessed through https, http is not allowed now, just change your 'http' to "https"...that's the solution
Let me explain my scenario. I want to use Youtube IFrame API to embed some videos on my website.
I tested the video with id wdGZBRAwW74 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdGZBRAwW74) on this page: Youtube IFrame Player Demo. And it works OK.
I try this example code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<!-- 1. The <iframe> (and video player) will replace this <div> tag. -->
<div id="player"></div>
<script>
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "//www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: 'wdGZBRAwW74',
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange,
'onError': onPlayerError
}
});
}
// 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
// 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
// The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
// the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
var done = false;
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) {
setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000);
done = true;
}
}
function onPlayerError(event){
console.log(event.data);
}
function stopVideo() {
player.stopVideo();
}
</script>
</body>

with some virtual host domains on my localhost and i got result:
with domain app.centaur.com/youtube/index.htm: IFrame API work OK, the video play without problems.
with domain app.music.com/youtube/index.html: IFrame API work OK, but the video can not play, API fires onError with error 150 and the embedded player show message "This video contains content from VEVO, who has blocked it from display on this website. Watch on Youtube"
with domain app.musiccentaur.com/youtube/index.htm: like first case, everything work ok
with domain app.centaurmusic.com/youtube/: like first case, everything work ok
As i know error 150 stand for "The owner of the requested video does not allow it to be played in embedded players". But i see it still work in case 1, 3, 4, so what is it mean ?
Seem all of videos by Vevo related to this problems. I'm not sure if Vevo defined some policy for embedding their videos.
Maybe the problem come from my domain music.com, but i'm not sure there is some rules of domain to embed Vevo's video on websites.
What if i buy a domain for my website then i got error 150, this is so bad. :(
Is there anyone deal with this before? Please give me some solutions. Thanks in advance.
Note: this error only occurs on Vevo's videos.
Content owners are allowed to set up a white/black list of domain names on which embedding is allowed/denied. There is no way to work around these restriction.
This blog post has a bit more info about content restrictions in general: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2011/12/understanding-playback-restrictions.html
