loading multiple video players with youtube api

Question

I need to load more than one video with youtube's API. This is my first time using it so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but this is what I'm trying:

  var player;
  var player2;
  function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
    player = new YT.Player('player', {
      videoId: 'hdy78ehsjdi'
    });
    player2 = new YT.Player('player', {
      videoId: '81hdjskilct'
    });
  }

Answer 1

Since onYouTubeIframeAPIReady function is supposed to called only once the following approach could be used:

• initialize and save video player information (ControlId,width,height,VideoId) in array

• call onYouTubeIframeAPIReady function to create all the video players

Example

var playerInfoList = [{id:'player',height:'390',width:'640',videoId:'M7lc1UVf-VE'},{id:'player1',height:'390',width:'640',videoId:'M7lc1UVf-VE'}];

      function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
        if(typeof playerInfoList === 'undefined')
           return; 

        for(var i = 0; i < playerInfoList.length;i++) {
          var curplayer = createPlayer(playerInfoList[i]);
        }   
      }
      function createPlayer(playerInfo) {
          return new YT.Player(playerInfo.id, {
             height: playerInfo.height,
             width: playerInfo.width,
             videoId: playerInfo.videoId
          });
      }
