Can't pass player to factory to be shared between nested directives about angular-youtube-embed HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry, I'm on a phone right now, so I can't do a lot. It looks like you want a single player reference to be shared amongst various controllers or directives or what have you.

If I understand correctly, you should try using a service instead of a factory, so that you'll have a singleton that can be passed about.

Let me know if this helps. If not, could you supply a plunker or a jsfiddle? Thanks and best of luck

Correct.

I don't think the distinction between service and factory matters. From what I understand, both are singletons and the only difference is that services are instantiated using the new keyword. I found this cheatsheet helpful.

I couldn't figure out how to include your library in the plunker, but my SO question should have enough information and I just edited it to include my code on GitHub.
