Youtube Chromeless Player

JavaScript

Hi there guys does anyone have experience using Youtube’s Chromeless player. I have set it up as follows:


var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" };
var atts = { id: "myytplayer" };
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?key=AI39si5cxKBjboPA9SA2pkrpW7Qaub6XGE0-iqcwlfs5bvjNQyt36EFT3qvP73oqVcKD5GHZEHc6IZwX7X6T1Rxrciz98laKhA&enablejsapi=1&version=3&playerapiid=ytplayer" ,
					   "ytapiplayer", "412", "246", "8", null, null, params, atts);

Is my use of the developer key here correct? The API doc is vague at best when discussing this:

Developer’s Guide: Data API Protocol - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

Anyway I continue to get a handle on the player:


 function onYouTubePlayerReady(playerId) {
ytplayer = document.getElementById("myytplayer");
play();
 }

I then call the following function to load in my first url and play the video.

This is done because I want two sets of controls - one on a list which the user has called to embed the player in the first place and another to be my custom chrome:

			  
 function play() {
if(ytplayer)
	 {
	ytplayer.loadVideoByUrl( "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPdYRBf1fGc&feature=player_detailpage",    0);   
 ytplayer.playVideo();
	 }
}

Here is the test site :

click the 4th accordion entry - this is defintely youtube, the plugin I am designing interchanges flowplayer with youtube.

Its as it says in this:

use a combination of this giude:

YouTube JavaScript Player API Reference - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

and this tutorial vid:

YouTube Player APIs and Tools Tutorial - YouTube

I’d still like to find out how to load a chromeless video from a url tho, any ideas?

ok guys here’s what worked for me:

ytplayer.loadVideoById(“I8xZBfVsMzs”, 1, “medium”);

You just use the id instead of the url, don’t need a developer key unless you need to write/upload

Surely there’s a way of doing it with a url tho?
