jQuery.BackgroundVideo V 1.0

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

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);
});
