Since Oct 17th (2013)
Embedded Playlist no longer work on iOS (iPad, iPhone)
Verified on iPad2 (iOS6) , iPhone4s (iOS7)
Verifed with a few different playlists.
Verified by many others
I repeat this is about the STANDARD EMBEDDED PLAYLIST
as it is shown on Youtube-website below the videos (share >embed)
(ie: NOT any special API-script , NOT any "comma-separated-list"
NOT cuePlaylist, NOT SWFobj ..but the SIMPLE STANDARD PLAYLIST EMBED CODE)
as it is shown on Youtube´s website below all videos that are part of a playlist.
They simply don't load and nothing appears just a plain black screen.
When I embed ONLY ONE SINGLE video then it will play fine on iOS
Below (standard) playlist embed-code shows only a black screen and on top
just the title bar with title of the 1st video.
<iframe width="928" height="522" src="http//www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLB4CF45A350C9CD8A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Below (extended) code shows only a totally black screen:
<iframe width="928" height="522" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLB4CF45A350C9CD8A&autoplay=0&autohide=1&rel=0&iv_load_policy=0&modestbranding=1&showinfo=0 "frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
As said both codes used to work fine on iOS untill last week 17th.
Both codes work fine on all desktop browsers.

Question-1:
Is this a new bug on Youtube's side ?
Question-2:
Is there a workaround available until they repair it ?
This is a reported issue. Workarounds are here: https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=5411
You can also track the fix from there.

This is the way I always use it
Your problem is related to an issue I originally reported on the Google gdata-issues forum.
As of today, Google has fixed it:

I'm experiencing an issue on iOS10 (Safari only, Chrome is perfect) which is being caused by a Vimeo embed which plays in fullscreen natively on iOS. The video plays perfectly, however when I click "Done" and the video closes it affects the positioning of the sections (website uses fullPage.js). Please see the URL below:
http://rorymstaging.wpengine.com/stack/#thestoryof2016
This doesn't seem to happen every time, but if you play the video and close it a few times you should see that the positioning is affected. The screenshot below shows the issue, obviously I'd love the video to return to the center of the screen when not being viewed:
I've tried inspecting the code to see how the positioning is being affected and have tried a few CSS only fixes but nothing seems to correct the bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I've embedded a video on my site using YouTube's new iFrame embed code, but sadly whenever I test-watch the video on my site, the view count doesn't get increased on YouTube. My video is not on autoplay and it doesn't have 300+ views (it has less than that) so that's not the problem.
I've also tried using the old embed code from YouTube and that works, the view counts increase everytime I test-watch the video from the site.
I'm asking this cause I can't use the old embed code since it's not supported by Apple. So my question is, is it normal that the iFrame code can't count views? What else can I do? Any help at all would be well-appreciated!
Thanks!

Ive got this very strange problem related to google maps and youtube. I have embedded a youtube video in an iframe. and i have embed that iframe in an info window. Now the problem is that when i run it on firefox, the video shows up black. on chrome, its distorted. but when i open that iframe in separate tab. the video is just fine!
Anyone else having this problem?
I have tried the same in Google Maps v2 and its working good!
Okay so I have been following this issue for a very long time now. Using the HTML 5 option of embedding a Youtube video and putting wmode=opaque and autoplay=1 and using the latest browsers from FF, IE, Safari and Chrome everything works fine / great. Problem is, intermittently, in FF a video shows up with audio only. This happens say 1 out of 10 times (meaning in 9 cases Youtube video + audio, in 1 case Youtube audio only). Clicking on the dark region brings full screen where video is visible ! I am yet to find out a pattern to diagnose this problem. Else, things are much better now. I am doing like what you are. Clicking on a marker on Maps V3 opens up an iframe. Inside that iframe i call a Youtube video using the iframe embed option. Maps V2, no problem !!!
This is an open issue at Google Maps v3 !

I've been working on an iPad-specific site that uses HTML5 video and though I've got video playback working, I can't for the life of me get the poster image to appear. It looks fine on Desktop Safari. Here's the code:
<video src="video/about_the_man.mp4" controls height=360 width=480 poster="video/posters/about_the_man.jpg"></video>
I've using this link as a reference (listing 1.2): https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/Using_HTML5_Audio_Video/AudioandVideoTagBasics/AudioandVideoTagBasics.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009523-CH2-SW6
It says that on iOS the poster image will be shown until the user initiates playback, but right now all I'm getting is a black video-sized screen with a big play button in the center. I've looked at other postings on this top (here and here) but neither solution has worked for me. The only thing that's a little bit unconventional about the site is that the video element is in an inline lightbox, so initially on pageload it's not visible, but I don't know why that would make a difference.
I had the exact same problem. I decided to try my code on other iPad's, and it worked fine. The poster image showed up.
After scratching my head for a bit, the solution was to hard reset the iPad and try again. After a reboot, my iPad displayed the poster image as it should.
Maybe it will work for you?
I found there is a limit to the amount of images you can load on an iPad
Here is what it says:
I hit a mobile Safari limitation recently when building an AJAX-y site
on the iPad. If you load a ton of images eventually mobile Safari cuts
you off and will display a [?] instead of the image. After doing some
tests it appears that this limit is around 6.5 MB. Here’s a test page
I made that attempts to load 20 500kb images. When opening this page
on an iPad, 7 of the images don’t appear, even though in Charles they
are returning 200 – success. I’m assuming this is similar to the way
autoplay is disabled for the video tag on iPad/iPhone. Apple probably
wants to make sure users don’t get overloaded with downloads when
browsing on 3G.
Anyhow, 6.5 MB is a hefty load and wouldn’t fare well on 3G, but for one reason or another you may want to work around this limitation. I found the easiest way to patch my code was to load the image into a canvas tag using drawImage(). The canvas tag appears to be immune to the limitation.
Here’s another test page using the canvas tag, all the images should load.
