How to call Youtube .playVideo() with jquery?

Question

I would like to insert a youtube video and play it right away, I am not quite sure how to get this to work with jquery on live click. Any ideas?

var youTubeVideo = '<object width="370" height="260"><param name="movie"' +
                        ' value="http://www.youtube.com/v/[ID]&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=player"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;' +
                        '<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"' +
                        'value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/[ID]&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=player"' +
                        'type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="false"' + 
                        'width="370" height="260"></embed></object>';


$('#MyVideo').live('click',function () {    
    $(this).append(youTubeVideoHTML);
    //How do you accomplish this call?
    //player.playVideo();
});

I have to do this on a click of a seperate element so starting the play right away is not an option. I would also prefer to not use any external api's.

Answer 1

Add &autoplay=1 to the end of the youtube url.

Answer 2

Seems like an object should have an id like <object id='myplayer' ... />

Then: $('#myplayer').playVideo();
