Question

I am using youtube api iframe and just getting going with the sample code. When I issue:
player.loadVideoById(“ytidNo1”) the proper video starts (“ytidNo1” is a valid youtube id)

Then, say, 10 seconds later, if I issue another:
player.loadVideoById(“ytidNo2”) the 2nd video starts, but it starts at the point where the last one was playing at (eg 10 seconds in).

This is new behavior in the last day or so and I have not changed my code.

To correct the problem, I tried:
player.loadVideoById(“ytidNo1”,0)

then

player.loadVideoById(“ytidNo2”,0)

and issue still happens.

Anyone else have or just starting to have this issue?

Answer 1

I also had the same problem. Playing around I eventually got it to work.
I had to use seekTo(0); (see Jim’s comments)

More details about the problem.

• If the video actually played to the end I didn’t need to do anything.
• If the video was skipped part way through I had to call
  player.seekTo(0);
  on the old video before calling loadVideoByID(“ytid”, 0); on the next video.
• I also had to handle the case where after calling loadVideoByID I got an error. (e.g. 150) If I had an error I could not call seekTo because it would cause the next video to play audio only.

hope this helps
