I am trying to forcefully trigger the full screen in youtube player. I am following the Youtube Player Frame API.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference
I can't make the video full screen on click of the button. But no luck.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I had the same problem that you in this application (https://itunes.apple.com/es/app/la-nucia-tv/id982784095?mt=8). I solved it using a webview and inserting there the youtube embed code.
I know that it isn't a perfect solution, but it worked for my customer.

I am using "YTPlayerView" to play video in iOS. When I am using this in iPhone it automatically play video in full screen but when I am using same thing in the iPad it does not switch to full screen. I also tried the below parameters but no success.
NSDictionary *playerVars = #{ #"playsinline" : #0 };
[self.playerView loadWithVideoId:videoIDURL playerVars:playerVars];
We have developed a very video intensive app for both iPhone and iPad in the past, and actually had the opposite problem - we wanted to use the YTPlayerView for displaying videos inline (non-fullscreen) on both devices, but weren't able to get it done on the iPhone. We ended up using XCDYouTubeVideoPlayerViewController, which seemed to have resolved most of our issues. This is not really the recommended way to approach this, since it pretty much breaks YouTube's terms of use (it parses the html page, finds the .mp4 url, and plays it in MPMoviePlayer, which gives all all of the flexibility you need for full screen, loading times and other notifications.
Throughout the process of trying to find a way to work with YTPlayerView, I contacted engineers form Google who work on the YouTube helper framework, and they recommended to work directly with the iframe player API, which lets you customize the controls and receive events about the video. This means you'll have to use your own web view instead of the YouTube helper. The communication between the JavaScript and the Objective-C parts can be tricky (and that's what the helper library actually tries to save from the developer), but it will give you more flexibility.
This can also help with working with UIWebView to display YouTube videos: Playing YouTube Videos in a WebView Inline.
I know it's not exactly what you asked, but I hope it can help lead you in the right direction. I've had a lot of issues working with YouTube videos on iOS, so I know how frustrating it can be. Good Luck!
What can be done to make a Youtube video play properly upon the first attempt to view it?
Most of the time I get dark areas as shown for example in the attached:

Update your flash player. That is probably corrupt.
Sorry if this has been asked before... in a mobile browser (eg iOS Safari) when a Vimeo video is embedded into a HTML page, clicking play on the video pops it open in the native player in Safari - I want to be able to launch a video in this exact way, but from an image link rather than having to embed the video... So that clicking the image pops open the video in the native Safari player.
I've searched around but think I'm lacking the correct terminology to know exactly what to search for.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance...
Why don't you want to embed the vimeo code?
One work around can be going to your vimeo video settings, then Basic and at the bottom of that page upload your own Thumbnail image... You will still have to embed the vimeo code though, but now you will have the image you want as the first image before you click on the video.
This can be a partial solution in the mean time. Also I think a Pro vimeo account might allow a direct link to a video.
I've tried tens of different ways to play a video from YouTube or a server and not have it go into fullscreen. I know it's possible because the YouTube app allows for this to happen but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Please advise!

Can I play a youtube video in a UIWebView inline (not fullscreen)?
This solution is iOS 6 & 7 compatible, it involves setting UIWebView's allowsInlinePlayback and setting YouTube's iFrame webkit-playsinline value.
I am using flexslider on a site and will be putting youtube videos in certain slides. However, I need the slider to stop animating while the video is playing, and resume when the video finishes. I understand that the developer has provided a solution to this exact problem using the vimeo API. Are there examples out there of an implementation using the youtube APIs? Is it possible? I am (obviously) not a javascript expert, and find that I learn best through examples/tutorials.
There's an example at https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#Getting_Started for embedding an iframe YouTube player on a page, and responding to specific events. I think you should be able to adapt that to meet your needs.
Here is my option for Youtube and Vimeo, hope is help :)
