Vimeo Froogaloop API无法识别事件

Question

I'm trying to recognize the onPlay, onPause, and onFinish event for vimeo using the froogaloop API. I've tried everything I could imagine with this thing, and no luck.

I get this error on Firefox:

And in Chrome:

Importing froogaloop from the CDN:

<script src="http://a.vimeocdn.com/js/froogaloop2.min.js"></script>

My JS:

$(function(){

    var vimeoPlayer = document.querySelector('iframe');

    $f(vimeoPlayer).addEvent('ready', ready);

    function ready(player_id) {

        froogaloop = $f(player_id);

        function setupEventListeners() {
            function onPlay() {
                froogaloop.addEvent('play',
                function(data) {
                    console.log('play event');
                });
            }

            function onPause() {

                froogaloop.addEvent('pause',
                function(data) {
                    console.log('pause event');
                });
            }

            function onFinish() {
                froogaloop.addEvent('finish',
                function(data) {
                    console.log('finish');
                });
            }
            onPlay();
            onPause();
            onFinish();
        }
        setupEventListeners();
    }

})

My HTML:

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/3718294?api=1" width="623" height="350" frameborder="0" id="iframe-video"></iframe>

Answer 1

After hours and hours of frustration... I have found the solution.

Since I was using an ID on the iframe... apparently the vimeo API forces you to add the parameter to the URL you are fetching (player_id=iframe-id).

So the iFrame should look like this:

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/3718294?api=1&player_id=promo-vid" 
        width="623" height="350" frameborder="0"
        id="promo-vid">
</iframe>

Got an error creating the player element when selecting the iframe with jQuery .

var iframe = $('#player1');
var player = $f(iframe);

Results in

TypeError: d[f] is undefined

Solution for me was to select the first element in the jQuery ID selector

var iframe = $('#player1')[0];
var player = $f(iframe);

I think you're violating the Same Origin Policy . You'll notice here that where you're doing a lot of event handling, they are using special froogaloop API calls.

I've never used froogaloop so I'm probably wrong. But that's my guess. The errors seem to suggest that the iframe is attempting to modify the URL in your browser, and that's now allowed by Same Origin. That's why the API wraps up window.postMessage for you.

Having had a similar issue, with Froggaloop2 - it appears that if the video is cached, the ready event will fire only once (on the initial load). The solution is to retrieve the iframe with changing src, as:

$(iframe).attr('src', $(iframe).attr('src') + '#timestamp='+(new Date()).getTime());

Answer 5

I had a similar issue, but in this case after replacing Froggaloop with the Vimeo.Player, it still it was a new restriction in chrome. I was getting the error "play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first...". After further research it looks like Chrome added some restrictions see here . The solution in my case was to add allow="autoplay" to the iframe.
