Vimeo player api - play video with javascript

Question

I'm trying to start playing video with javascript/jquery function. I copy example from vimeo site and upload it to the server, but it is not working.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/themes/js/froogaloop.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    var iframe = $('#player1')[0],
        player = $f(iframe),
        status = $('.status');

// When the player is ready, add listeners for pause, finish, and playProgress
    player.addEvent('ready', function() {
        status.text('ready');

        player.addEvent('pause', onPause);
        player.addEvent('finish', onFinish);
        player.addEvent('playProgress', onPlayProgress);
    });

  // Call the API when a button is pressed
    $('button').bind('click', function() {
        player.api($(this).text().toLowerCase());
    });

    function onPause(id) {
        status.text('paused');
    }

    function onFinish(id) {
        status.text('finished');
    }

    function onPlayProgress(data, id) {
        status.text(data.seconds + 's played');
    }


});
</script>

<iframe id="player1" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/27855315?api=1&player_id=player1"   width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

<p>Video status: <span class="status">...</span></p>
<p><button>Play</button> <button>Pause</button></p>

On firefox I got message: "Content loading is blocked"

On safari buttons just do not work.

How to make it work?

You would need to make sure you're including the jQuery library for this code. Before the froogaloop script try adding:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Here's a fiddle of it working http://jsfiddle.net/nkfH4/
