neither loadVideo() nor unload() resolving promises when player is created from existing iframe

Expected Behavior

.then() should fire, or .catch() if there’s an error

Actual Behavior

video loads, but promise never resolves.

Steps to Reproduce

codepen link: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/jrabwY

<iframe id='player1' src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/76979871?api=1&player_id=player1"></iframe>

var player1 = new Vimeo.Player('player1'); // or $('iframe')[0]

player1.loadVideo(12345).then(function(id){
  // this never fires
  console.log('iframe player loaded: ', id);
}).catch(function(error){
  // and neither does this
  console.error(error);
});

This is happening because you have ?api=1 on the <iframe>. That will keep it in what we call api 2 mode, which does not fire confirmation messages back to trigger the resolution of the promise. If you remove it, everything will work properly.

@bdougherty thanks. turns out that was indeed in the documentation, just a bit buried.
