Error while automating youtube video using selenium webdriver in java

Question

Getting the below error while trying to automate the video in youtube using selenium webdriver in java.

I have copied the code to automate from the below link.

https://seleniumonlinetrainingexpert.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/how-to-automate-youtube-using-selenium-webdriver/

Below is the error I am getting

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: document.movie_player is undefined Command duration or timeout: 23 milliseconds Build info: version: '2.46.0', revision: '87c69e2', time: '2015-06-04 16:17:10' System info: host: 'HYDPCM99232L', ip: '10.1.1.3', os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'x86', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.7.0_79' Session ID: a573f5f2-29c4-4b62-a5f2-54e44a762547 Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver Capabilities [{platform=WINDOWS, acceptSslCerts=true, javascriptEnabled=true, cssSelectorsEnabled=true, databaseEnabled=true, browserName=firefox, handlesAlerts=true, nativeEvents=false, webStorageEnabled=true, rotatable=false, locationContextEnabled=true, applicationCacheEnabled=true, takesScreenshot=true, version=40.0.2}] at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:526) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.ErrorHandler.createThrowable(ErrorHandler.java:204) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.ErrorHandler.throwIfResponseFailed(ErrorHandler.java:156) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.execute(RemoteWebDriver.java:605) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.executeScript(RemoteWebDriver.java:514) at FlexWebDriver.callFlashObject(FlexWebDriver.java:23) at Youtube.main(Youtube.java:17) Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: document.movie_player is undefined Build info: version: '2.46.0', revision: '87c69e2', time: '2015-06-04 16:17:10' System info: host: 'HYDPCM99232L', ip: '10.1.1.3', os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'x86', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.7.0_79' Driver info: driver.version: unknown at .anonymous(.....youtube link...)

I solved the problem and the code looks like

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
    import org.testng.annotations.Test;

    public class YouTube {

        @Test
        public void test1() throws InterruptedException {
            //Initialising the firefox driver
            FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            //navigating to the below url 
            driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxoXvn2l2gA");

            Thread.sleep(5000L);

            WebElement video = driver.findElement(By.tagName("video"));
            JavascriptExecutor js = driver;

             //pausing the video
            js.executeScript("arguments[0].pause();", video);

            Thread.sleep(5000L);

//playing the video         
js.executeScript("arguments[0].play();", video);
            Thread.sleep(5000L);

//muting the video          
js.executeScript("arguments[0].mute();", video);
            Thread.sleep(5000L);

//unmuting the video            
js.executeScript("arguments[0].unMute();", video);
            Thread.sleep(5000L);

//Dragging the video            
js.executeScript("arguments[0].currentTime = 600;", video);
            Thread.sleep(5000L);

            js.executeScript("alert(arguments[0].readyState);", video);

            driver.quit();

        }

    }

Hmm... could you edit your answer to add comments that throroughly explain what does the code do? Doing so would make the answer more useful to future visitors (and more likely to get upvotes).
