Youtube Iframe API not working in Internet Explorer (11)

Question

Since my Youtube API code did not work i´ve decided to start from the beginning and tried the example code from https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference?hl=de

So i just embedded the player which should pause after 6 seconds.. This is an excerpt of the example player code

var player;
  function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
    player = new YT.Player('player', {
      height: '390',
      width: '640',
      videoId: 'M7lc1UVf-VE',
      events: {
        'onReady': onPlayerReady,
        'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
      }
    });
  }

It is working in firefox,chrome and safari, but not in Internet Explorer (my version is 11). The autoplay doesn´t work, as well as the pausing after 6 seconds. So i guess onready and onstatechange isn´t working.. I thought the api should work IE7+ Is there a solution yet? Thank you

edit: It is working fine with IE10 by the way

Answer 1

I was able to reproduce in http://jsfiddle.net/77PJB/3/.

function onPlayerReady(event) {
    event.target.playVideo();
}

I filed this internally. You can file it in public issue tracker if it's not filed already, to be notified once it's fixed.
