While the answer from elecash is a fine answer, there is a lot of guessing and storage. I choose to store only the active api on the $rootScope and paused the other player when a new player has started.

controller('VideoPlayerCtrl', ['$rootScope','$scope', function($rootScope,$scope) {
  $scope.playerReady = function(api) {
    $scope.api = api;
  };

  $scope.stateChange = function(state) {
    if(state=='play') {
      if($rootScope.playingVideo && $rootScope.playingVideo != $scope.api) $rootScope.playingVideo.pause();
      $rootScope.playingVideo = $scope.api;
    }
  };
}]);
