Making Youtube.Com/Embed Urls Work on iOS

Embedding YouTube videos on

Just tested your code, it works fine on an iPhone, Youtube videos are not supported on the iOS simulator though, so you'll need a real device for testing.

How can I position this box?

You are already passing the X (20), Y(20), width(100) and height(100) of the box at this line:

[self embedYouTube:@"http://..." frame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 100, 100)];

To change the position of the view afterwards, you modify its center property:

videoView.center = CGPointMake(200, 100 );

Embed video from youtube.com into iphone app

As far as I'm aware, inline media playback is only supported on iPad, not iPhone. This would be due to size limitations with the screens.

Edit:

I setup a test project, with a UIWebView and the code:

[webView setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback:YES];
[webView loadHTMLString:@"<embed id=\"yt\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas&fs=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"></embed>"
                    baseURL:nil];

I ran the same exact code on both an iPhone and an iPad, both running iOS 4.2.1.

The results were that the iPhone would only play the video in fullscreen mode, regardless of setting the inline media playback to YES and the iPad played the video inline. Here's a picture:

No need to use the embed code. The standard UIWebView aimed at the youtube web address should work fine...

// URL from safari address bar. 
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDXWW5vX-64"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self.webView loadRequest:request];

Try this one this is working perfect.
You use youtube Url as "http://www.youtube.com/v/YOU_TUBE_VIDEO_ID".

 UIWebView * youTubeWebView=[[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,320)];
    youTubeWebView.allowsInlineMediaPlayback=YES;
    youTubeWebView.mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction=NO;
    youTubeWebView.mediaPlaybackAllowsAirPlay=YES;
    youTubeWebView.delegate=self;
    youTubeWebView.scrollView.bounces=NO;

    NSString *linkObj=@"http://www.youtube.com/v/1iBIcJFRLBA";//@"http://www.youtube.com/v/6MaSTM769Gk";
    NSLog(@"linkObj1_________________%@",linkObj);
    NSString *embedHTML = @"\
    <html><head>\
    <style type=\"text/css\">\
    body {\
    background-color: transparent;color: white;}\\</style>\\</head><body style=\"margin:0\">\\<embed webkit-playsinline id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \\width=\"320\" height=\"320\"></embed>\\</body></html>";

    NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, linkObj];
    [youTubeWebView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
    [self.view addSubview:youTubeWebView];

How to embed a Youtube video into my app?

Xcode 8.2 • Swift 3.0.2

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var wv: UIWebView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        loadYoutube(videoID: "oCm_lnoVf08")
    }
    func loadYoutube(videoID:String) {
        guard
            let youtubeURL = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/\(videoID)")
            else { return }
        wv.loadRequest( URLRequest(url: youtubeURL) )
    }
}

Xcode 7.3.1 • Swift 2.x

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    // create an outlet for your webview 
    @IBOutlet weak var wv: UIWebView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // load your you tube video ID
        loadYoutube(videoID: "oCm_lnoVf08")
    }
    func loadYoutube(videoID videoID:String) {
        // create a custom youtubeURL with the video ID
        guard
            let youtubeURL = NSURL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/\(videoID)")
            else { return }
        // load your web request
        wv.loadRequest( NSURLRequest(URL: youtubeURL) )
    }
}

iOS Youtube Embedded video playlists

Not shure if its exactly the same issue
but since last week no playlist will work on iOS (iPhone,iPad)
(embedded on a normal webpage)
occurs with both iOS6 and iOS7.

see my post:

Playlist (embedded ) broken on iOS

They still work in all desktop-browsers.

Single videos will work...maybe that is why your 1st example
still works cause its not a real playlist (?)...since it has only one video in it.

Its a bug @ youtube ... their only reply till now (@google api groups) was
"its filed" which ofcourse is nothing ...they could just as well have said
"its not filed" since "filed" means nothing ..they should for a start confirm
that this is a bug ...next they should mention if and when its going to be solved.

Not shure but you may want to add/change a tag ( youtube-api ) not just "youtube" to your first post (if you still can).

Embedding YouTube Video in Trigger.io for iOS

Since YouTube redirects you to its https:// protocol site, you need to whitelist https://youtube.com -- just whitelisting http://youtube.com is not enough.
