Erro in Youtube Video Player: ERROR TypeError: co.openVideo is not a function

Hi, I was using the iframe, however, giving incompatibility with IOS, I decided to change.

I am using Ionic Video Player to watch Youtube videos to my application and it is giving the following error:

HomePage.html:10 ERROR TypeError: co.openVideo is not a function

There is no openVideo in your home.ts that is triggered via [quote=“mateusdomingos, post:1, topic:98944”]
(click)=“openVideo()”
[/quote]

You have to create it if you want to use it.

In general: If the error message mentions co. you messed up in the template code :wink:
