Pause youtube video, youtube api

Question

I\'m trying to pause and play YouTube videos with the following code which is pretty much a copy from the Youtube API page:

Answer 1

In your HTML, have some buttons to control the video:

Using jQuery, bind an event listener (the click) to trigger a function on your player object:

$(function() {
  $('#play').click(function() {
    player.playVideo();
  });
  $('#pause').click(function() {
    player.pauseVideo();
  });
});

I built an app using YouTube's Player and Data api. Take what you need: https://github.com/HunterMeyer/YouTV
