Embed config is not supported in RemoteEmbeddedPlayer?

Question

Whenever I'm trying to open Youtube player in my app, onInitializationSuccess() function is always called. But it shows a blank screen.

First this error appears:

W/YouTubeAndroidPlayerAPI: Forcefully created overlay:affq@82a17f5 helper:Lazy@9b7098a view:null status: ....... {...}

and then:

E/YouTubeAndroidPlayerAPI: Embed config is not supported in RemoteEmbeddedPlayer.

Here is my code:

FragmentManager fragmentManager = ((AppCompatActivity)this.context).getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
    Fragment  youtubeFragment = new YouTubePlayerSupportFragment();
    fragmentManager.beginTransaction().add(R.id.GlideLayout ,youtubeFragment).commit();


    utubevw = (YouTubePlayerSupportFragment) youtubeFragment;
    utubecontainer = imageLayout.findViewById(R.id.youtubecontainer);

    utubecontainer.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    mOnInitializeListener = new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {
            youTubePlayer.cueVideo("_8kExcHqFi4");
            Log.i("youtube", "Successful");
        }
        @Override
        public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
            Log.i("youtube:Fail", youTubeInitializationResult.toString());
        }
    };
    utubevw.initialize(String.valueOf(R.string.googleapikey), mOnInitializeListener);

Searched everywhere, even posted in Github, but couldn't find a solution.

FYI - I don't want to use Webview to play Youtube.

Answer 1

I had the same problem just now and i was able to solve it by removing all possible overlaying views. I had a FAB just closely overlaying the youtube fragment. After moving the FAB away the error was fixed.
