<button>Skip Video</button>
I have set up iframe to embed the youtube video. When the video is over it gives me new recommended videos I can click and play. I was wondering how can I set up my button(skip video) to skip the video and auto play the next recommend video or perhaps the next video in the playlist?
Maybe HTML5 won't be enough so I might have to use JavaScript or Dart. What is the easiest way to go about doing this?
I advise you to use the YouTube JavaScript Player API.
There are many helpful methods to play the next video etc. It is very nice documentated.

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.
I am currently working on a google chrome extension that features a content script for altering youtube pages. I have done some work with altering the DOM already and all of that works, however, I have been looking for solutions to have the youtube video pause when the page loads.
I initially thought perhaps I could simulate a keystroke as the spacebar pauses youtube videos. I also tried using javascript to pause the video but I don't think it works with Youtube's custom video player.
Don't feel obligated to write any code for this but if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
On the main page of a video, the HTML5 video element playing the video has a specific class, so you can target that; and as an HTML5 video element, it has the play() and pause() methods already.
document.querySelectorAll('.html5-main-video').forEach(vid => vid.pause());
That will pause all HTML5 main videos on the page. Helpfully enough, that's the same class used by the little autoplaying video on some channel pages, so it should work for those as well :)
(Don't worry about Flash videos; YouTube hasn't supported those for years now.)
I'm so sorry, but I can't get a youtube video to play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyRv0-oPfKE) inside a video tag.
I know about the iframe API but in this case it has to have the default html5 controls, not the youtube controls.
I probably missed something stupid but can't figure it out...
Anyone know how to do this?
EDIT:
so I tried:
<video
controls='controls'
src={`http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=${id}&asv=3&el=detailpage&hl=en_US`}
type='video/mp4'
/>
and tried:
<video
controls='controls'
src={`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyRv0-oPfKE&html5=1`}
type='video/mp4'
/>
but I get blank page.
The HTML video element expects video files as a source. If you want to play a YouTube video using the native HTML video player, you'll have to provide a link to the video itself, not to the YouTube website for this video.
Also keep in mind, that not all browsers can handle any video formats. See MDN: Media formats for HTML audio and video.
I've always noticed that you can play audio files with the HTML5 <video> tag. It seems really handy, considering that you only have to use 1 element to play videos and audio. An example would be this JSFiddle.
<video src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/horse.mp3" controls></video>
My first question is: Is this something that is here to stay, or is this a fluke that browsers plan on removing later on?
And if not, how do I know if a file is a video or audio using JavaScript? Because if I'm correct, can't .ogg files be video or audio? I'm trying to make a mediaplayer app for Chromebooks but I need to be able to differentiate audios from videos.
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:
