BackboneJS Youtube Player not firing video - backbone.js

Question

I have this Backbone App where I want display videos from youtube in a view. I fetch the youtube video id dynamically through an API and a Model. So far so good. The Youtube Player gets rendered, but the Player gives me an error which indicates that it didnt recognize the VideoID even though when I console.log the video_id, it returns the correct video_id.
So my View looks like this:
beforeRender: function() {
var artistvideosModel = new ArtistVideos.ArtistVideosModel();
artistvideosModel.artist_id = this.artist_id;
artistvideosModel.video_youtube_id = this.video_youtube_id;
artistvideosModel.fetch();
},
afterRender: function() {
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;
window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady = function() {
player = new YT.Player('vid', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: this.video_youtube_id,
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
}
});
}
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
var done = false;
function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) {
setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000);
done = true;
}
}
function stopVideo() {
player.stopVideo();
}
}
Does anyone know what could be the issue here? Please help...
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You need to bind the context:
window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady = _.bind(function() {
player = new YT.Player('vid', {
height: '390',
width: '640',
videoId: this.video_youtube_id,
events: {
onReady: onPlayerReady,
onStateChange: onPlayerStateChange
}
})
}, this);
