Youtube Javascript API - disable related videos

Question

Right, this seems to be poorly documented or I can't see it in the documentation. I basically want no related videos (?rel=0) using the JavaScript API.

$players[$vidIdPlaceholderRef] = new YT.Player('player_' + $vidIdPlaceholderRef, {
    height: '550',
    width: '840',
    videoId: $vidId
});

is what I have in place.

I have also tried:

$players[$vidIdPlaceholderRef] = new YT.Player('player_' + $vidIdPlaceholderRef, {
    height: '550',
    width: '840',
    videoId: $vidId + '?rel=0',
    rel : 0
});

with no luck. Does any one know of an option which can be added (tried rel : 0 with no luck )

Answer 1

Here is a Quick solution:

setInterval(function(){
    if($('iframe').length > 0){
        $('iframe').each(function(){
            if($(this).hasClass('gotYou')){
                //do nothing
            }else{
                var getMySrc = $(this).attr('src');
                var newSrc = getMySrc.split('?');
                console.log(newSrc);
                var freshURL = newSrc[0]+'?rel=0&'+newSrc[1];
                console.log(freshURL);
                $(this).addClass('gotYou');
                $(this).attr('src', freshURL );         
            }
        });
    }
}, 1);

What it does it, it looks for the iframe in your document. If it finds iframe, it grabs the src of the iframe, finds the ? mark and then replaces ? by ?rel=0& . Here the goal is to out rel=0

No need to code through the API,now its easily can be done by

You tube embed button -> Show more -> tickout the option 'Show suggested videos when the video finishes'

Answer 3

The accepted solution was not working for me. What does work is:

1) Putting the iframe in html that includes the rel parameter

<iframe id="youtube-video" width="560" height="315" 
 src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&modestbranding=1" 
 frameborder="0" enablejsapi="1" allowfullscreen></iframe>

2) Using the javascript API to attach to that existing player

var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
  player = new YT.Player('youtube-video', {
    events: {
      'onReady': onPlayerReady,
      'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
    }
  });
}

function onPlayerReady(event) {
    console.log("ready");
}

function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
    console.log("state changed");
}

If you're using SWFObject, you simply need to do something like this:

function loadVideo() {
        var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" }
            , atts = { id: "myvideo" }
        ;
//NOTE THE END OF THE BELOW LINE vvvvvv
        swfobject.embedSWF("https://www.youtube.com/v/[video id here]?enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=myvideo&version=3&rel=0"
         , "videoplaceholderid"
         , "768", "432", "8", null, null, params, atts);
    }

Just add rel=0 to the end of your url.

Answer 5

"rel" is a player parameter, as specified here:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#rel

To add player parameters to iframe players, you need to specify the playerVars property of the second constructor argument (at the time of writing this is documented here, and on the IFrame API documentation page)

e.g.

new YT.Player('playerid', {
    height: '550',
    width: '840',
    videoID: 'video_id',
    playerVars: {rel: 0, showinfo: 0, ecver: 2}
});

Answer 6

The behavior of the rel player parameter has changed.

From documentation,

The behavior for the rel parameter is changing on or after September 25, 2018. The effect of the change is that you will not be able to disable related videos. However, you will have the option of specifying that the related videos shown in the player should be from the same channel as the video that was just played

So, it's no longer possible to disable related videos. Instead playerVars: {rel:0} will change the behavior of the player and shows suggestion from specified channel.
