[wp-hackers] stopping an embedded video with javascript

[Chris McCoy]

if you look

https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference


the player.stopVideo() will do what you want.

to do a hyper link to stop the video the example would be something like

// Get element holding the video (embed or object)
var player = document.getElementById("youtube_player");

function stop() {
    if(player) {
        player.stopVideo();
    }
}

<a href="#" onclick="stop()">Stop Youtube Video</a>


hopefully this can guide you to something you can use.
