jQuery.BackgroundVideo V1.0.5

Inspired by [Tubular] (http://www.seanmccambridge.com/tubular/)

Example: http://rochestb.github.io/jQuery.YoutubeBackground 360 Video Example: http://rochestb.github.io/jQuery.YoutubeBackground/360.html

Production Example: [www.cpbgroup.com] (http://cpbgroup.com)

jQuery plugin that lets you create background videos using youtube api

Put the script at the bottom of your markup right after jQuery:

 <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>  <script src="src/jquery.youtubebackground.js"></script>

<div id="video"></div>

Call the plugin function and your carousel is ready.

$('#video').YTPlayer({     fitToBackground: true,     videoId: 'LSmgKRx5pBo' });

Need to customize some CSS in order to make it a background

#video{  position: relative;  background: transparent; }  .ytplayer-container{  position: absolute;  top: 0;  z-index: -1; }

Works with Youtube Javascript API

Youtube Javascript API Options

Any youtube option must be placed within the playerVars object.

$('#video').YTPlayer({     fitToBackground: true,     videoId: 'LSmgKRx5pBo',     playerVars: {       modestbranding: 0,       autoplay: 1,       controls: 1,       showinfo: 0,       branding: 0,       rel: 0,       autohide: 0,       start: 59     } }); 

Access all of YouTube's API events and methods by using player:

var player = $('#background-video').data('ytPlayer').player; player.pauseVideo(); player.playVideo();  player.addEventListener('onStateChange', function(data){   console.log("Player State Change", data); });
