Angulartics via Google Tag Manager and LunaMetrics YouTube Tracking (not picking up events) #31

I've got angulartics working. I can't get LunaMetrics working, I've followed the instructions using the .json file to configure GTM. My guess is that there is something that needs changed with the triggers.

I've been working on this a little more, it seems related to the fact that init is being called before the angular app had had a chance to completely load. If you have some tips for getting this script working for angular apps I'd be happy to submit a pull request with a section added to the readme.

Yep, you got it. This script is designed to run after your YouTube videos are in the DOM. You can invoke onYouTubeIframeAPIReady inside of a directive in order to re-bind to new videos in the DOM, but beware that there's currently a known issue where the script will break when bound on the same video twice.

I'm definitely interested in suggestions, as this is a persistent problem. Short of polling for new YouTube videos and keeping a cache/count of bound videos, I'm coming up short on ideas.
