Setting "origin" in youtube-ios-player-helper breaks programatic functionality

Question

Using the YouTube iOS Player Helper library (https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper downloaded on 2015-06-16), if I add the line:

@"origin": @"example.com",

before:

@"modestbranding": @1

at line 30 in SingleVideoViewController.m, then the programatic controls no longer function to affect the video, and the progress bar no longer updates. Additionally, very few of the status messages are being shows/received.

I assume/hope "origin" would show up in analytics, to signify source, which is why I'm setting it.

Is there a specific format this text needs to be in, or something else I should be setting?

I'm cross posting this issue here as I have got no response to the GitHub issue https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper/issues/121

Answer 1

You are not passing in a valid url for the origin parameter.

Try @"origin": @"https://example.com" or @"origin": @"http://example.com". Note the http(s)://.
