Android-youtube-player: How to add custom seekbar and play/pause button when useWebUi is true

[Praveena0989]

Because in the document I can see that showSeekBar attribute does nothing if useWebUi is true. I want to listen to seeking event so I am trying to create own seekbar

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

Hi, you need to create your own custom ui. Consider using the provided seekbar.

@PierfrancescoSoffritti Thank you but I tried it before raising the issue. It is not hiding existing seek bar but coming over it

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

You need to disable (or just not enable) web ui.

[Praveena0989]

In native UI are you using native youtube library? I am moving to your library just because of native youtube library has so many glitches which make apps keep on crashing.

[Praveena0989]

Got it. According to the doc native means native UI but youtube still plays inside iframe. Please correct me If I am wrong here

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

Yes, this library always uses the IFrame (web) player. But you can decide if you want to use the web ui or a native ui.

[Praveena0989]

Thank you.

[Praveena0989]

Totally unrelated to this issue but is there any way to hide related videos shown in the end?

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

No, unfortunately it is not possible. The IFrame API forces it to be visible.

[Praveena0989]

I still don't understand how come airtime app guys managed to do it

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

it looks like they are not using the web player, but directly getting the video stream from YouTube.

[Praveena0989]

I thought that's against TOS of youtube

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

It probably is!
