I am facing an issue with Firefox 44.0.2 and the YouTube embedded player. In some cases the player isn't showing the player elements and in some it does. A friend of mine told me, this is related to an issue, that the Non-SVG icons aren't loading.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the embedding? In every other browser it is working like a charm.

The final device I'll be putting this on is an android TV box, but I'm testing on my galaxy s5. Both are having the same issue.
I'm using Full Screen Browser by Klurige, and I originally had some GIF's at the bottom of the page that I wanted to loop, but they ended up being to clunky and big to run efficiently on the TVbox, so I decided to switch over to html5. I've tried with WEBM and MP4, both are doing the same thing.
I have the autoplay and loop attributes in the html5 video as such:
<video id="zach" loop autoplay class="picture"><source src="P-Zach.webm">Error</video>
Neither works be default in the browser. I just see a gray video icon. I can't even click to start it.
I've tried formatting in different ways and everything mentioned on the broken-links.com blog post people keep pointing to. I've tried javascript .play() options. None do anything.
If I add the controls attribute to the video, I can play the video, so I know the video file works, but it still won't loop.
Any help?
Okay, so it looks like it has something to do with android blocking webview from letting javascript control the html5 video.
That, in combination with the lack of native support for loop or autoplay attributes made me ditch fullscreen browser and switch to the only browser I could find that DID support those - Firefox.
I used an app called Ful!screen (or something like that) to remove the notification bar, loaded firefox with the webpage (with html5 playing and looping perfectly) and scrolled down slightly to hide the top bar.
Tada! Fullscreen browser with html5 video instead of GIFs.
Solved my own issue another way.
I am looking to have a video play once the first video ends. Both videos are coming from Vimeo. I have attempted to use this plugin and follow the Vimeo API however I can't seem to get anywhere. The plugin successfully plays one video after the other but the video loads next to it, not in place of it. I've also tried the suggestion on this post but it doesn't work for me either.
Any suggestions? I'm beginner level for Javascript so the more detail the better :) thank you!
I'm trying to make a web-app in which people can remix youtube videos...
I looked at the youtube api, and it doesn't seem to support thumbnail at a specific location.
So, I'm trying to create multiple chromeless youtube videos, start them at specific positions and stop them almost immediately to make them seem like "thumbnails".
However, the videos all show up black when I try to do so.
Here's the link to the source code: http://pastebin.com/6Bpr1Dsz
Note that when I comment out the pauseVideo part, the videos play fine.
ps: I tried to make this work on jsfiddle, but it wouldn't work.
Thanks :)
This will once again be one of those question there's probably no answer to, but I'll try it anyway.
I created a custom WP plug-in that takes a folder name and outputs all videos inside the folder as images, which when clicked make a video pop-up. The video has custom controls (only play/pause and mute) and I'm using fancybox to make the video pop-up.
Everything works reliably in Opera and Firefox. The video doesn't bother playing in IE9 and, what's most annoying, it sometimes plays in Chrome and sometimes doesn't. (btw Safari won't even pop-up, no idea why).
The plug-in is quite a piece of code, but the end result is a bunch of links with an image inside and a hidden div that contains the links relevant to the current video. Then there's the video container, which is the code for the pop-up. Upon clicking one of the links, the src of the video is swapped for the one that is in the hidden content of the link.
It's quite hard to explain, so please have a look at the code on the website:

If you're still reading, here's the plug-in's code
https://github.com/marian-cerny/simple-video-embed
Video playing/pausing is handled in assets/player-controller.js.
I would greatly appreciate any help. I just can't logically explain what can be the reason for this. I tried to debug the JS, but couldn't come up with anything.
For a second I thought that adding a webm video would help, but it doesn't. It behaves the same way, even after adding a webm and removing the mp4 version. (tried on localhost, the online version doesn't have the webm vids).
You hardly ever need to blame your markup or javascript, suppose there is something different than this. I've been it such situations couple of times. All right, here is what I did.
opened video directly in chrome and FF.
open the developer bar on both, and look up the net(network) tab, where you suppose to see headers and other loading information.
in my case here is only one request in FF, and multiply from Chrome and there is canceled or pending only.
tryed the same with ogg clip, it is good in FF though chunked, and bit better in Chrome, part of requests are in pending, part canceled and fiew is good.
What could be wrong here, all right, as I said I do have similar problems in the past, I worked with professional movie maker, who do very good with all that codecs stuff. I just showed him perfectly working mp4 video from the videojs.com and he fixed his somehow by changing encoder or something like this. Unfortunately, I could not connect him how and ask, but probably it gives you some ideas. Please whenever you will be able to solve it, update status over here, I was bit intrigued all that times but had no chance to resolve my curiosity.
Your video was only once worked for me, but I am not sure if it was mp4 or ogg at that point. Also I am on win7 with latest Chrome and FF.
I searched for many solutions to play Youtube videos on iOS.
At the moment i just use a webview to show only the player and then press the play button (only embed the video in the webview).
But I know there is a javascript solution to get an mp4 link for the youtube video.
This is the javascript:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25105
The script searches for the video element and grabs all informations and finally make it possible to download the mp4.
Im not good in javascript, so i dont know if there is an possibility to write that code, that it just works with http://myurl.com/getvideo?id=VIDEOID .
I would try it myself, but i dont know if it is possible to grab all these informations the script uses without the player element.
Maybe you can help me ;)
(im using iOS 5 btw)
My english is not the best, so if u have problems to understand something, just ask.
you can check PSYouTubeExtractor that allows you to retrieve the mp4 version of a YouTube video, it is pretty easy to use.
