On my website, I have a iframe
that is entered in the database for submission and I would like to see the length of the iframe
video. However, I tried to use Youtube API
but I did not succeed. The iframe
gets a id
after page loading due to organization issues (I know it's not practical but it's the way I got it).
Here's the code.
// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
// 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
// after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('video_player');
time_left = player.getDuration();
alert(time_left);
}
// 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
// 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
// The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
// the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
var done = false;
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) {
setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000);
done = true;
}
}
function stopVideo() {
player.stopVideo();
}
video_player
is the iframe that I choose to see the duration. Here I have the code where I change the id
of the iframe.
if($("iframe").length > 0){
$("iframe").attr("id", "video_player");
$("iframe").attr("width", "100%");
$("iframe").attr("height", "100%");
}
