[YouTube-API] Re: iFrame API and YT.Player

HI Jeff,

  Figured out the issue, the video is loaded by creating a new instance of YT.Player. This object does indeed provide the APIs required (getCurrentTime and getDuration). My issue however was that the tracking code was creating it's own YT.Player object using the playerID, that object however does not have the required APIs.

Gist with sample (improper use):  https://gist.github.com/2007137 

cheers,

Marc.

Hello Marc,

 Those are not safe to use, no. Both the getCurrentTime() and
getDuration() methods of YT.Player should be supported for both HTML5
<video> and Flash playback. I just tried them and was able to use
them. Could you provide a URL that we could visit to reproduce the
issue you're seeing?
