I often listen to music on Youtube, however it's hard to quickly find the YT tab, and hit the pause button. I was wondering if there was a plugin that would add pause/play buttons to my window chrome that finds the tab with the Youtube video in it and pauses or plays it.
Thank you!

We're having issues with auto-playing the videos at the bottom of this page on Safari, both desktop and mobile:
http://dev-doublespace.pantheonsite.io/work/kdc-one/
The videos don't appear or play on the initial load of the page. If we click "Show controls", then the controls for the video appear, but the videos aren't available and the sizing of the video window is not correct (screenshot below). If we choose to copy the file address, then the proper mp4 file address shows. However, if we "open the video in new window", or re-load the page, the videos then appear and play as expected.
We assume this is some type of caching issue, but can't be certain.
This site was built on Wordpress and is being hosted on Pantheon. We have the Pantheon caching tool enabled. We're using the Beaver Builder page builder to maintain the page content.
If anyone has any ideas on what might be happening here and how we can resolve this, that would be greatly appreciated.
Say I open Youtube,and the video starts playing. How do I find out what in-browser and system plugins / resources are being used to play the music / video?
Asking because on my Firefox, about 50% of the time, when I open youtube, it starts playing the audio of the page in the background, even as the video loads. So when the video is playing, there's audio with it, but there's the same audio, with a small delay playing in the background.
I've tried disabling the extra flash plugin that most other guides about this recommend, and it hasn't helped. Now I want to find out what my browser is using to play the background music.
Simplest thing is probably to right-click on the video and check if the menu that appears is the typical Flash rc-menu or the browser native video right-click menu.
I'm building an application which plays videos using the YouTube iframe API. You can see the application here.
I've run into a weird issue where the player works ok in Chrome/Safari but won't show the video correctly in Firefox (I'm using FF22 on OSX 10.7.5). You can click the play button and hear the sound but the video never appears.
Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong?
Some Observations
You can see the YouTube branding (which is part of the player) so it's there, it's just not showing any picture.
According to #ceasar in the answers, the player works on Win 7 FF22. I have another report which states that it also works fine on Ubuntu FF.
If I open up the FF developer console and click various nodes in the DOM tree of that window, the video will appear. Try clicking div.show-details to see this effect (It's under body > div.wide > div.show-details )
There is a transparent overlay over the video but I'm setting ?wmode=opaque on my iframe (like this question suggests) so that should be ok.
This question suggests that setting certain styling rules such as border-radius on the iframe can mess with it. I'm not doing anything like that.
In FF the youtube logo isn't showing but working okay (win7 FF 22). Also in the other browsers I cannot click on the youtube logo. This is against the youtube TOS and you could be banned for this so be warned
I am trying to find the solution to have the control of play/pause when my app is playing the own music in Background. I am using AVAudioPlayer and didn´t find the way to implement this controls. When the app is "close" the music play perfectly but I have to open the app again to pause or change music when needed.
Any solution ?
If you're running iOS 4 you can try putting the app in the background whilst playing music, and then pressing the home button twice for the 'multitasking' bar.
Swipe the bar to the right, which shows you the normal playback controls for Music, YouTube, etc.
If you use the AVAudioPlayer I'm quite sure you can use those same controls to control your app's playback of media.

*EDIT does using the remote on the iPhone headphones work?
I embedded a quicktime video in firefox. It works, but i would like to prevent the users to stop the video by clicking on it with the left mouse button. Reading the apple documentation i didn't find any answear. I came up with a workaround, i just put an almost invisible div over the whole video. The workaround works in firefox for os X, but oddly does not for the same version of firefox in windows.
I would appreciate a way, workaround or not, to achive this at least in the windows/firefox environment. Thanks!
Ok so this is how the embedded QuickTime object works:
if you click it, it PAUSES the stream
if you give it HREF parameter, and then click it, it opens the given URL, but doesn't pause the stream
So the idea is to give it the URL that will not open, and will prevent the player from pausing, so add this parameter: href="javascript:function(){}" in the <embed> tag like so:
<embed src="poster.mov" bgcolor="000000" width="640" height="480" scale="ASPECT" qtsrc="rtsp://192.168.0.2/stream1" kioskmode="true" showlogo=false" autoplay="true" controller="false" href="javascript:function(){}" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
And there you go, no pausing when you click it, and it works on all browsers because you are using the HREF parameter. =)
