Youtube Api - Onplayerstatechange

I'm using the YouTube API in conjunction with Cyclone Slider. The goal is to pause the slideshow once the YouTube starts playing. I'm using the following code which works nicely:

Solution 1:

Try the following code, it works for me -

function loadYouTube(targetId){
    ytplayer = new YT.Player(targetId, {
        events: {
            'onStateChange': function(event){
                /** YouTube API
                        -1 (unstarted)
                        0 (ended)
                        1 (playing)
                        2 (paused)
                        3 (buffering)
                        5 (video cued)
                 **/
                if (event.data == 1) {
//do your work here
                }
                console.log(event.data)
            }
        }    
    });
}
