How to Play a Playlist using YouTube JavaScript API

Question

I\'m trying to play a youtube playlist using this JavaScript API for iframe-embeds introduced this January. http://apiblog.youtube.com/2011/01/introducing-javascript-player-api-

Answer 1

Since a proper answer was not provided here for playlists using the Playlist ID (i.e. not hardcoding the list of videos), this is the way to use it if you still wish to use the Javascript Youtube IFrame API. You can omit the videoID if the playlist ID is specified in the playerVars as follows:

function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() 
{
        player = new YT.Player('player', 
        {
          height: '390',
          width: '640',
          playerVars: 
          {
            listType:'playlist',
            list: ''
          }
        });
}

Hope it helps who's looking for it (as I was).
