Tags - YouTube iFrame Tracking Problem

[bjoern__koth]

Hi guys,

I am facing an issue where I cannot seem to receive any YT iFrame media events (iframe src contains the &enablejsapi=1 param, see sample src below).

Setup

• youtube video is loaded upon click on poster i.e., iframe with src *= youtube is not available before click
• using the "Youtube Playback" extension, https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/ec/104160
• tried a poster click rule that was not working reliably, saying the iframe was not found by then (did not want to add a delay)
• instead, opted for a "enters viewport" solution (only as a POC, will be refactored later), just to see if anything is fired at all - which is not

Sample iFrame source

src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/asdasdadsadsadsadsads?autoplay=0&controls=0&disablekb=1&playsinline=1&...enablejsapi=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.client.com&widgetid=1"

It seems to detect the iframe with the player.

However, my dummy rule that should fire upon pretty much any YT event is never called

Any ideas?

@yuhuisgwho created the extension brought me on the right track. The developers are using a custom player that integrates various sources like YouTube, Vimeo, etc and instead exposes standard HTML5-style media events I should be able to register to.

Unfortunately, this player comes with its own iframe_api.js which causes problems with the extension.

Solution will be using the custom events coming from the player and skipping all Launch extensions.
