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 :)

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.
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 am have been playing around with a lot of options. popcorn.js, mediaelement.js, jwplayer and I can not find a combination that works. I'm working on a learning website and I need to display the subtitles of the video below the player. I can get it to work all good when the video is hosted on the server and it has a file link. I was using MediaElement.js because all the videos I need are on YouTube so it needs to stream from there.
I have tried a few different combinations and popcorn was originally going to work. When I started playing with it I found their YouTube streaming no longer works. I've followed their examples but its a no-go. Also with popcorn I couldn't get to work with any other subtitle file other than TTML (even though they support the others) and I need one that can have html inside of it.
My latest endeavor got me using the script from here: http://www.storiesinflight.com/js_videosub/#code
This lets me use .srt which is good, but I can't get it to let me stream YouTube with any other JavaScript players so I'm back to where I started.
I have seen a post about going through one of the transcoding websites and using the .mp4 link, but I don't want to rely on a middleman. If that site shuts down then my site will also be screwed. I doubt YouTube is going anywhere anytime soon.
There's a surefire way to do this and that's to create your subtitles in notepad and then upload them to youtube
Then Go to your Account Settings page in Youtube
Select Playback from the left-hand menu
Select/check 'Always show captions'
You should Check Show automatic captions by speech recognition (when available) to enable automatic captions for videos that don't already have captions provided)
Save! and you're done
No javascript required

Hey Guys,
I've been trying to get my links to control which video plays with the OKVideo plugin but for some reason it doesn't work. I've tried a myriad of different method with no success.
To activate the plugin, you use:
$(function(){
$.okvideo({
source: 'BHE8Yre3Ex8',
})
});
I've added some links that store the YouTube video ID as an attribute. When the user clicks the link, the video should stop playing the current video and begin playing the next selected one.
Also, I'm not trying to have the video play automatically (on page load)–only on a video selection. I've looked into the code but the options don't seem to work.
I've stripped my code and placed the core of it into jsfiddle, here: http://jsfiddle.net/mikemiketm09/rd4fL/
FYI: It did say you can use YouTube API with the plugin.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
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.
