Same here... Tried using async embed code instead of iframe embed, and still getting same issue.

I also get this error, we are using onYouTubeIframeAPIReady to create the player.

I'm getting the same error on a customer project.
This is visible on any YouTube video by viewing the embed link. For example, see console output forhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/q4y0KOeXViI

I'm totally puzzled by this problem. All I do is execute the script "//www.youtube.com/iframe_api ". This creates the YT.Player "class", and calls my onYouTubeIframeAPIReady. There, I create an instance of YT.Player and pass it the name of a div. YT.Player replaces my div with an iframe and loads several scripts in the iframe. After this, I loose control, because the iframe points to another domain.
When I launch the app from Visual Studio, the last script in the iframe runs and calls ytcfg.set ... which has not been defined. The scripts also try to access the parent of the iframe, which is not going to work.
When I deploy the app to my ".com" hosting provider .. everything works fine. For some reason, the script that calls ytcfg.set is not getting run. Why??
Good news is that my users haven't been impacted yet. My site still works. Unfortunately, development work has stopped. I don't dare deploy anything until I understand what is going on here.
One thing is sure: this is caused by YouTube code, and there is nothing I can do to fix the problem or stop it from happening. After days of trying, Im convinced of that.

Well isn't this annoying, thanks to this in my development environment I have to click past a breakpoint triggered by this bug on every reload. Either that or disable breakpoints on errors, but then I can't debug anything can I. Damn. Wasting so much of my time and making testing this website frustrating as hell.

jm...@gmail.com
Does anyone from Google monitoring this? It seems to be impacting a lot of people yet there is not one reply from a Google developer. We have many, many instance of YouTube iframes in our software firing breakpoints because of this issue, which we can now confirm is negatively impacting revenue. Our options are to discontinue use of YouTube video completely or wait for a solution, but it doesn't appear like this issue has even been acknowledged. Please update us ASAP.

Another quick and dirty hold over for people I think may be to just define ytcfg right before your youtube include via something like
<script>var ytcfg;</script>
Although it may not work.

Although it may not work.

For anyone looking for a workaround, the suggestion from
Additionally, the `ytcfg` object includes an api with at least a `set()` method that gets directly invoked by the script, so the workaround would need to stub out the entire API to avoid generating JS errors.
