Answer 1

I searched for that topic and I found that there is not an official way and won't be according to this page on Google code.

In it they propose that you create a player.

Hide the player.

Mute the player.

Call seekTo() with your videoId and optional offset.

Wait for state change to "playing".

Press pause.

Call seekTo(originalOffset, false).

Unmute the player.

Show the player. (or whatever).

It maybe doesn't do what you need but maybe you can change what you need to achieve your goal using this method.
