Youtube Chromless Player – Help

@funmediadesignJun 22.2009

I am testing with the youtube chromeless player.

So far, not too bad…but I am not sure about something.

I can initiate the player to load the video and play it with an onclick event call…however, the same code called onload or just run in script tags, fails!

Can anyone help me understand why?

Here is the test page I’ve created:

Thank you.

It takes a bit of time, even after the window.onload event fires, for the player to be set-up. For example, the following will work if you replace the scriptlet at the bottom of your page with the following:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 swfobject.addLoadEvent(function () {
 window.setTimeout(function () { loadNewVideo('1WlRcXIO5ik',0); },500);
 }); //at 200ms IE sometimes won't load it yet
 &lt;/script&gt;

However, I don't think the above would be optimal, when you could invoke the call to loadNewVideo() within the onYouTubePlayerReady function instead of the above solution you could do this (also note, a global, undefined ytplayer variable declaration is necessary):

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 var ytplayer;
 
 <i>    </i>    function onYouTubePlayerReady(playerId) {
 <i>    </i>      ytplayer = document.getElementById("myytplayer");
 <i>    </i>      loadNewVideo('1WlRcXIO5ik',0);
 <i>    </i>    }
 
 <i>    </i>    // functions for the api calls
 <i>    </i>    function loadNewVideo(id, startSeconds) {
 <i>    </i>      if (ytplayer) {
 <i>    </i>        ytplayer.loadVideoById(id, parseInt(startSeconds));
 <i>    </i>      }
 <i>    </i>    }
 &lt;/script&gt;

Adding
[CODE]loadNewVideo('1WlRcXIO5ik',0);[/CODE]

to the onYouTubePlayerReady function will work fine...

Haven't tested it, yet...but I'm 100% positive it will work.

Why didn't I think of this? A second pair of eyes helps.

Thank you for the help.

I think the variable is declared in the google javascript api code for the player.

Thanks
