Fallback if youtube cannot be accessed

[JauernigIT]

We have to support video playback both from behind a corporate proxy and from "normal" internet. For the corporate network scenario, many clients don't have YouTube access, so they would not be able to see videos from this (preferred) source. In Chrome console, this error occurs: GET https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

Hence, we have to implement a fallback mechanism: when YouTube is not accessible, use an MP4 video file from AWS (static URL). We searched for a solution in plyr, but have not been successful so far. We've seen the error event, but this is not fired in our case. We also investigated the other events, but with no success so far.

Is there a viable solution in plyr or do we have to implement the availability check on our own?

This would be great to see this feature implemented, indeed.

@JauernigIT : I'm not sure I would strongly recommend this tool, but I believe http://afterglowplayer.com/ allows to have this "fall back if youtube isn't reachable".
