player.playVideo() seems to be not working with this plugin.

Forgive me I am a little rough with javascript and the youtube api.

I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to set up a external play button from the iframe with this plugin.

I have followed the instructions to the tee from here. https://tutorialzine.com/2015/08/how-to-control-youtubes-video-player-with-javascript

This is my code. (as the ID of the loaded iframe changes on each page refresh, i have changed the selector to grab by class as there is only 1 player on the page.

var player;

function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
    player1 = new YT.Player(document.querySelector('.yotu-video-placeholder'), {
        width: 600,
        height: 400,
        playerVars: {
            color: 'white',
        },
        events: {
            onReady: initialize
        }
    });
}

function initialize(){
}
$('#play-button').on('click', function () {
    player.playVideo();
});

Thank you for your work on this amazing plugin,

Regards
