phonegap iframe youtube video embed blank screen only audio


I am developing a Phonegap application. I want to play Youtube video in a page along with some text content. I used iframe and video is playing, pausing, full-screen but I get only sound. There is no video only a black screen.

iframe class="embed-responsive-item" width="560" height ="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameBorder="0"

Please do help me fix this issue. Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Youtube is providing the youtube player API. I used this API in phonegap API and its working fine. Here is the code.

    <script>
      // 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
      var tag = document.createElement('script');
    
      tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
      var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
      firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
    
      // 3. This function creates an <iframe> (and YouTube player)
      //    after the API code downloads.
      var player;
      function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
        player = new YT.Player('player', {
          height: '390',
          width: '640',
          videoId: 'M7lc1UVf-VE',
          events: {
            'onReady': onPlayerReady,
            'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
          }
        });
      }
    
      // 4. The API will call this function when the video player is ready.
      function onPlayerReady(event) {
        event.target.playVideo();
      }
    
      // 5. The API calls this function when the player's state changes.
      //    The function indicates that when playing a video (state=1),
      //    the player should play for six seconds and then stop.
      var done = false;
      function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
        if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) {
          setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000);
          done = true;
        }
      }
      function stopVideo() {
        player.stopVideo();
      }
    </script>
    

    And in html file

    <body>
       <!-- 1. The <iframe> (and video player) will replace this <div> tag. -->
       <div id="player"></div>
    </body>
    

    It's working fine in my phonegap app. You can try this.
