Function detection

I use the youtube javascript api. Now the users of my website can start the player with an imacro and the function player.playVideo(). Is it possible that I can detect or disable this funtion?

Thanks

player.playVideo=null

Thanks for the reply, but do you know where to put this? If I put it directly in the player it doesn't load the player...

ok, well that still stops "them" right? haha

i guess you want to be able to use it, but not allow others to.

try adding a required argument to playVideo, something to make it slightly more difficult to abscound:


var oldPlay=player.playVideo;
player.playVideo=function(password){
if(password=="something"){ oldPlay.call(player); }
};



then change your buttons from "player.playVideo()" to "player.playVideo('something')"...


you can change the argument and the password at the same time using a server-side script if you want to prevent them from hard-coding the 'password'...

No I don't need it, the player code is:

function loadPlayer() {

var videoID = ""

var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" };

var atts = { id: "ytPlayer" };

swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/v/" + videoID +
"&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=player1",
"videoDiv", "640", "385", "8", null, null, params, atts);



}

Now there are two ways to start the player, you can click the start button or you can call player.playVideo() through javascript. I try now to disable this call or to detect it, because youtube doesn't count these views...Thanks for the help

you're not supposed to ask for help with cheating on other sites' rules...

if you want your clicks counted without cheating, simply embed an auto-play iframe on-demand instead of using their crappy js embeds. a modal is a great place for such an iframe...

I don't want to cheat other sites, the users are cheating my site with imacros. And I try to prevent them from cheating. The problem is the whole thing is working with js. But thanks for the help, I think it's not even possible what I'm asking for...
