[YouTube-API] Re: Youtube Javascript API not returning player functions with certain browsers?

Hi there Jeffrey!

I am trying to create a custom player which utilizes the Youtube Chromeless Player API, without the Javascript methods being returned I cannot control the player with Javascript. 

I looked through the terms and yes, the 14 points of prohibitions, I don't see how the app is going against the terms and conditions. If you're worried about the "Download Song" feature, I'm sorry that this causes confusion but we're planning to allow users to buy the songs through iTunes or Amazon in the near future, not download the YouTube video itself. We are NOT offering the users to download the video, no way. 

And yes, we do not block any YouTube ads and we allow users to open or close them as they see fit. 

No, we're not circumventing or interfering with YouTube's API, we are trying to use it and it's not working well, lol. 

Can I know what other concerns you may have Jeffrey so that we can work something out? :) 

Anyway, I created a temporary fix to the problem by reinitializing the YouTube player instance again and again, until there's one instance that returns the methods correctly. The latest release of Firefox seems to have this problem as well.
