Answer 1

Well, you just need to change the source (src) attribute value of iframe tag. It's that simple! :)

With javascript, you can do it as follows:

var stopButton = document.getElementById('video-close-button-id');

stopButton.onclick = function() {
  var myPlayer = document.getElementById("youtube-player-id"); 
  myPlayer.setAttribute("src", " ");
}; 

Happy coding.

You need to reset the link of the video, i had a similar problem this is how i solved it, i used jQuery in the process.

//First get the  iframe URL
var url = $('#YourIFrameID').attr('src');

//Then assign the src to null, this then stops the video been playing
$('#YourIFrameID').attr('src', '');

// Finally you reasign the URL back to your iframe, so when you hide and load it again you still have the link
$('#YourIFrameID').attr('src', url);
