[YouTube-API] Re: How to detect when a player's API is ready?

Hey Sam,

We've talked off-thread about this already, but there really is not a
supported API for controlling the YouTube player that's found on a
youtube.com watch page. Only the embedded player that is found on
third-party sites has a stable API.

Cheers,
