Youtube iframe api "getPlayerState" function undefined

There are multiple youtube videos playing in my site in a carousel. When a user click on a youtube video then I want to stop the auto scrolling of the carousel. Here is the code I am writing which is throwing me "players[player_id].getPlayerState() is not a function" error.

Also the youtube library is loading in my site from a thrid party javascript.

players = {};

    window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady = function(){
        $('.youtube-video iframe').each(function() {
            players[$(this).attr('id')] = new YT.Player($(this).attr('id'), {
                events: {
                    'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange($(this).attr('id'))
                }
            });
        });

    }

    function onPlayerStateChange(player_id){
        return function(event) {
            if(players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 3 ||players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 1) {
                //stop the auto scrolling
            }

            if(players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 0 || players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 2) {
                //start auto scrolling.
            }
        }
    }

Please let me know if you can find the issue in my code. Thanks in advance!

You forgot some sample paramters like videoId: $(this).attr('id') and events was not placed at the good place.

I post you the correct code :

HTML

  <div class="youtube-video" id="O1RHkPGb31Q"></div>
  <div class="youtube-video" id="VjRb3RjqncQ"></div>

Javascript:

var tag = document.createElement('script');

tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

players = {};
window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady = function(){
        $('.youtube-video').each(
  function() {
    players[$(this).attr('id')] = new YT.Player($(this).attr('id'), 
    { 
      videoId: $(this).attr('id'), 
      events: { 'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange($(this).attr('id')) }
    });
  });
};

    function onPlayerStateChange(player_id){
        return function(event) {
            if(players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 3 || players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 1) {
                //stop the auto scrolling
                console.log("stop scolling video" + player_id);
            }

            if(players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 0 || players[player_id].getPlayerState() == 2) {
                //start auto scrolling.
              console.log("start scolling video" + player_id);
            }
        };
    }
