Embedded YouTube videos may not play - javascript

I have created a website that plays YouTube videos using the IFrame Player API.
Most videos played fine, but some videos didn't load properly.
One of the videos that causes problems is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBqt_QO01bA
Website with embedded video
https://uta.inui-dondon-sukininaru.net/?sid=233
Some sites have been successfully embedded.

Therefore, you can be sure that the channel allows embedded playback of the video.
What could be the cause of embedded playback failure?

how to observe embedded youtube video

I want to embed a youtube video on my own website and I want this youtube video not to be skipped in any way, but not to adjust its speed and to track the time it watches, but I could not find any source.
I tried to use the youtube iframe api, but I can't follow the stats without stopping or starting the youtube video there.
I would suggest that you should first download the video, and then put it onto your site through a <video> tag. The youtube iframe api is designed only for having videos that function exactly like they do on the youtube website, which includes the things you don't want.

Embed YouTube Video as Background with No Ads

I know its said in Embed YouTube Video with No Ads that it is up to the content owner if ads are shown or not.
However, I think there must be a workaround if you use a YouTube video as background in HTML5.
I discovered this website http://www.lifealignmentor.com/ after checking the source code I realized its using this YouTube video. The video on YouTube has ads enabled. However on the website http://www.lifealignmentor.com/ I never saw the ads.
So is the website using a forbidden hack or is there actually a way to embed a YouTube video as background without seeing the ads?
I don't know if it helps, but I also found that the website is using the Onetone MageeWP Theme.

Some YouTube iframe embeds not working in HTML5 mode

A YouTube iframe can play a video using an HTML5 player instead of Flash, by adding "html5=1" as a URL parameter. However, this only works sometimes. For example the emebeds below are identical, except for the YouTube id in the iframe URL. The first iframe plays fine if there is no Flash player installed but the second requires flash. I've tried this in both Chrome and Firefox.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="720" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O_ceIIJeVNQ?html5=1&modestbranding=1&controls=0&title&loop=1&playlist=O_ceIIJeVNQ&enablejsapi=1&origin=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080"></iframe>
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="720" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YmehSeNXXt4?html5=1&modestbranding=1&controls=0&title&loop=1&playlist=YmehSeNXXt4&enablejsapi=1&origin=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080"></iframe>

Any idea how I can get embeds to play in HTML5 consistently?

"Apparently HTML5 video will not play for videos with ads, captions, or annotations"
That is impossible, the biggest part of youtube videos will have ads captions or notations
if it was true Youtube would be dead soon.
The fact that one video will play and the other not
is probably caused by if a version exists that is available
in the right format...which might depend on how old it is.
They dont convert videos on the fly..but create various versions
and send the right one to the right browser or device.
It should be that the new(er) embed code as shown below videos #Youtube
takes care of sending the right video to you.
By the way NONE of the PLAYLISTS will play anymore on iOS (iPad/iPhone)
i noticed that today, no replies are given in any yt-forum
Single videos play fine.
A colleague of mine found the answer in the original HTML5 video post announcement here:

Apparently HTML5 video will not play for videos with ads, captions, or annotations.

Is it possible to determine if a user finished to see an embedded youtube video with the api?

I need to check if a user has actually seen an embedded youtube video (meaning that he pressed play and saw until the end). Is it possible to do this with the youtube api (javascript)?
Thank you very much
Regards
Using the Youtube API is the most easiest way determining if the user clicked the play button.
For starters check out the Google Youtube Api:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference
You will be needing to use the Swfobject.js to load the video to use the Youtube API controls
on loading the video don't forget to add a listener (addListener)
when the API or the video was loaded you will able to see the state of the videos , here are those:
"-1" - video is ready to play
"1" - the video is playing (it clicked the play button)
"2" - the video is paused
"0" - end of the video
Sample coding on checking the current state of the loaded video:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference#SubscribingEvents
If it is a chromeless YouTube player or if you embedded the video via JW Player, then it is possible.
The chromeless player will strip out the coding and allow you to embed
the YouTube video like javascript, once done, then you can embed a
Google Analytics extension snippet/code to the address of the video
and track the hits that way. Another way is installing JW Player which
allows you to easily track analytics for YouTube videos by
incorporating your Google Analytics UPI.

Specific Youtube Clips don't embed with Youtube Chromeless

I'm having some issues with Youtube clip embedding using the chromeless jQuery plugin.
http://www.viget.com/inspire/youtube-chromeless-video-jquery-plugin/
Most of the videos I embed work fine, but there is a specific 2 videos which refuse to embed.
I have setup a test page which has a working video and the 2 broken videos, on the same page.
(Link no longer valid)
The videos which do not work are .mov files before being uploaded and both came from the same producer.
I assume that this is an encoding related bug, but thats just my guess.
Anyone have any other ideas?
