AngularJS - Youtube player directive with complete external controls

In my Angular app, I want to use a youtube player to play videos, and then add custom external buttons to control playback. I need a directive that can control all aspects of the video, including seek and progress. The most complete directive I have found is youtube-player-embed, but I don't see any options for seek and progress. Is this possible to do?

According to the Youtube API, it is indeed possible to seek and get the player progress. Since the directive youtube-player-embed is just a wrapper over the youtube video player object, then you should be able to use the exact same functions calls to control it.

In the page for advanced examples for youtube-player-embed you can see how they built a player with custom controls, in this case only Play and Pause, but it should be trivial to follow that example and add a Seek button as well.

Good luck!
