Play Youtube Videos With Mpmovieplayercontroller Instead of Uiwebview

Play YouTube videos with MPMoviePlayerController instead of UIWebView

The only way to have a youtube video play inside your own app is to create a UIWebView with the embed tag from Youtube for the movie you want to play as the UIWebView's content. UIWebView will detect that the embedded object is a Youtube link, and the web view's content will be the youtube preview for the video. When your user clicks the preview, the video will be shown in an MPMoviePlayerController. This is the technique described at the link that Muxecoid provided (how to play youtube videos within an application), and this is (as far as I know of) the only way to have a youtube video play within an application. You can still have the Youtube application launch by passing the youtube URL to -[UIApplication openURL:], but of course this closes your own application which is often undesirable.

Unfortunately, there's no way to directly play a youtube video with MPMoviePlayerController because youtube does not expose direct links to the video files.

How to play YouTube videos using MPMoviePlayer?

I think the only official way is to make it play inside a UIWebView.

However there is a project called XCDYouTubeKit that, I think, will do exactly what you want:
https://github.com/0xced/XCDYouTubeKit

That's allows you to make a youtube view play in a specific frame, that's maybe what your looking for.

example of use:

NSString *videoIdentifier = @"EdeVaT-zZt4"; // A 11 characters YouTube video identifier
[[XCDYouTubeClient defaultClient] getVideoWithIdentifier:videoIdentifier completionHandler:^(XCDYouTubeVideo *video, NSError *error) {
    if (video)
    {
        // Do something with the `video` object
    }
    else
    {
        // Handle error
    }
}];

Documentation is available here: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/XCDYouTubeKit/2.0.1/

Good luck

Playing youtube video with MPMoviePlayerController

Make use of custom LBYouTubePlayerViewController

It is a subclass of MPMoviePlayerViewController.

LBYouTubeView is just a small view that is able to display YouTube videos in a MPMoviePlayerController. You even have the choice between high-quality and standard quality stream.

It just loads the HTML code of YouTube's mobile website and looks for the data in the script tag.

LBYouTubeView doesn't use UIWebView which makes it faster and look cleaner.
