I want to load a YouTube video, then mute, play, pause, and unmute it immediately. In doing this, I hope to present the user with a video that doesn't have a big play button on it, and does have the controls on the bottom. In order to do this, I have the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function onYouTubePlayerReady(playerid)
{
mutePlayPauseUnmute(playerid);
}
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady(playerid)
{
mutePlayPauseUnmute(playerid);
}
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady(playerid)
{
mutePlayPauseUnmute(playerid)
}
function onPlayerReady(playerid)
{
mutePlayPauseUnmute(playerid)
}
function mutePlayPauseUnmute(playerid)
{
var player = document.getElementById(playerid);
player.mute();
player.playVideo();
player.pauseVideo();
player.unMute();
}
</script>
<iframe id="quotedVideo1" type="text/html" width="246" height="160" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NWHfY_lvKIQ?modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&autohide=1&iv_load_policy=3&theme=light&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=quotedVideo1" frameborder="0"> <!-- Magic Comment --> </iframe>
However, upon inspection, neither onYouTubePlayerReady
, onYouTubePlayerAPIReady
, onYouTubeIframeAPIReady
, onPlayerReady
, nor mutePlayPauseUnmute
is ever called. What have I done wrong? According to https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference#onYouTubePlayerReady it looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
