[wp-hackers] stopping an embedded video with javascript

[Nikola Nikolov]

Hi Steve. I've found out that usually the YouTube video will reload
itself(and stop unless it has autoplay) if it's visibility get's changed.
What I mean by this is that you can hide the video or one of it's
containing elements and show it again with jQuery(or other JavaScript), I
believe you can also change either z-index or the display CSS properties.

So if that's all you're looking for - I think you can try playing in this
direction, since it might be easier. Otherwise I'd look into the
documentation - can't help you with the JS API though :(
