Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': https://www.youtube.com !== http://localhost:9000

Question

This is the error message that I get:

Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided
('https://www.youtube.com') does not match the recipient window's origin 
('http://localhost:9000').

I've seen other similar problems where the target origin is http://www.youtube.com and the recipient origin is https://www.youtube.com, but none like mine where the target is https://www.youtube.com and the origin is http://localhost:9000.

1. I don't get the problem. What is the problem?
2. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I believe this is an issue with the target origin being https. I suspect it is because your iFrame url is using http instead of https. Try changing the url of the file you are trying to embed to be https.

For instance:

var id = getId(url);
  return '//www.youtube.com/embed/' + id + '?showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1&origin=http://localhost:9000';
}

to be:

var id = getId(url);
  return 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + id + '?showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1&origin=http://localhost:9000';
}

Answer 2

Just add the parameter "origin" with the URL of your site in the paramVars attribute of the player, like this:

this.player = new window['YT'].Player('player', {
    videoId: this.mediaid,
    width:'100%',
    playerVars: { 'autoplay': 1, 'controls': 0,'autohide':1,'wmode':'opaque','origin':'http://localhost:8100' },
}

Answer 3

Setting this seems to fix it:

  this$1.player = new YouTube.Player(this$1.elementId, {
    videoId: videoId,
    host: 'https://www.youtube.com',

Answer 4

You can save into local files:

• https://www.youtube.com/player_api
• https://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/www-widgetapi-vfluxKqfs/www-widgetapi.js

Into first file, player_api put this code:

if(!window.YT)var YT={loading:0,loaded:0};if(!window.YTConfig)var YTConfig={host:"https://www.youtube.com"};YT.loading||(YT.loading=1,function(){var o=[];YT.ready=function(n){YT.loaded?n():o.push(n)},window.onYTReady=function(){YT.loaded=1;for(var n=0;n<o.length;n++)try{o[n]()}catch(i){}},YT.setConfig=function(o){for(var n in o)o.hasOwnProperty(n)&&(YTConfig[n]=o[n])}}());

Into second, find some like: this.a.contentWindow.postMessage(a,b[c]);

and change to:

if(this._skiped){
    this.a.contentWindow.postMessage(a,b[c]); 
}
this._skiped = true;

Of course, u can concatenate into one file - will be more efficient. This is not perfect solution, but it's works!

Make sure you are loading from a URL such as:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/HIbAz29L-FA?modestbranding=1&playsinline=0&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fintercoin.org&widgetid=1

Note the "origin" component, as well as "enablejsapi=1". The origin must match what your domain is, and then it will be whitelisted and work.

Answer 6

Try using window.location.href for the url to match the window's origin.

Answer 7

I got the same error. My mistake was that the enablejsapi=1 parameter was not present in the iframe src.

Answer 8

I think the description of the error is misleading and has originally to do with wrong usage of the player object.

I had the same issue when switching to new Videos in a Slider.

When simply using the player.destroy() function described here the problem is gone.

Answer 9

I had this same problem and it turns out it was because I had the Chrome extension "HTTPS Everywhere" running. Disabling the extension solved my problem.

Answer 10

This exact error was related to a content block by Youtube when "playbacked on certain sites or applications". More specifically by WMG (Warner Music Group).

The error message did however suggest that a https iframe import to a http site was the issue, which it wasn't in this case.

Answer 11

Remove DNS Prefetch will solve this issue.

If you're using WordPress, add this line in your theme's functions.php

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_resource_hints', 2 );

Answer 12

You could change your iframe to be like this and add origin to be your current website. It resolves error on my browser.

<iframe class="test-testimonials-youtube-group"  type="text/html" width="100%" height="100%"
  src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HiIsKeXN7qg?enablejsapi=1&origin=http://localhost:8000"
  frameborder="0">
</div>

Answer 13

There could be any of the following, but all of them lead into DOM not loaded before its accessed by the javascript.

So here is what you have to ensure before actually calling JS code: * Make sure the container has loaded before any javascript is called * Make sure the target URL is loaded in whatever container it has to

I came across the similar issue but on my local when I am trying to have my Javascript run well before onLoad of the main page which causes the error message. I have fixed it by simply waiting for whole page to load and then call the required function.

You could simply do this by adding a timeout function when page has loaded and call your onload event like:

window.onload = new function() { setTimeout(function() { // some onload event }, 10); }

that will ensure what you are trying will execute well after onLoad is trigger.
