YouTube player iframe API: playVideo doesn't work on Firefox 9.0.1

Question

I\'ve got some YouTube embedding code (I will paste only code which is causing the trouble for me and cut things which are not public):

console.log(ytplayer);
yt         


        

Answer 1

I came across this post looking for something similar. I found my answer here, by relic180:

YouTube API - Firefox/IE return error "X is not a function" for any 'player.' request

Basically, Chrome can initialize youtube embeds even when the divs are hidden (i.e. display:none), but FF and IE can't. My solution was a variant of relic180's:

I move my player to left:200% or whatever when I want it invisible but getting initialized (and available for other calls to player), then move it back on screen when I need it.
