I have succesfully coded the following URL to make the youtube video HD:
https://www.youtube.com/v/wnPQC3mAr0k?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0;&vq=hd720
However, the fullscreen button won't work. Is there any way I could make it work?
Thank you.

N.B.:
I am not speaking about embedded player code.
I am speaking about creating a standalone URL, ie. the one I've written above.
You need to set allowFullScreen to 'true'.

I am using YouTube embed player. I want to hide /remove YouTube's default play button so that I can show my own custom play button. Please help me with this.
At least when using the iFrame method (according to this docs entry), there is the controls option, which lets you choose whether to show player controls or not.
I am not sure if it works with HTML5, though.
#jlmcdonald: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's officially supported and documented, why would it violate the terms of service?
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!
Hi having the same issue, please let me know i you find out.

I'm trying to create an app and have embedded YouTube videos, but I need to remove the on-screen controls from the player (play/back/forward/volume, etc.). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Is it possible to have my own custom buttons instead (for example, "forward 60 seconds") I've looked at MPMoviePlayerController but research has me under the impression this is not what is called when UIWebView fires up a YouTube video.
I've also looked at the YouTube API but can't seem to find any good tutorials or examples on how to actually use it for iOS development.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days and I just seem to be spinning my wheels.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
you have multiple options
1. use youtube data api. you can edit the video controls if you use it.
2. you can use 3 rd party frame work youtubekit visit https://github.com/rinov/YoutubeKit
if you want to watch a tutorial got to youtube there is a channel called "codewithchris". here is the link https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMRqhzcHGw1aLoz4pM_Mg2TewmJcMg9ua
UIWebView is very limited. You cannot put video controls there. Because what UIWebView do is just shows another website as a frame. If there must be some controls, that controls should be in the website. So you cannot add any further controls.
If you want to use control buttons for your videos, instead of youtube, put the video in webpage with control buttons as like. Then put it in UIWebView. Or you can use the media player.
i'm still working on my html5 videoplayer w/ flashplayer fallback. it is now part of a bigger kind of widget, that encapsulates tabs, sliders, carousels (extensively using jquery)
focussing on the videoplayer: the user can (repeatedly) pick videos to play from a carousel . once a carousel item is clicked, i put a div w/ a fitting background-image over my videoplayer, so as to have a splashimage working the same for every client. that 'selfmade splashimage' and the current frontitem of the carousel (which was just clicked) then are bound to the load() method of the video. obviously there's a lot of stuff happening in between: i check for support of <video> and support of formats (mp4, ogv). i also fade in and out a bunch of stuff. that was a short version of it. and it's all working pretty okay on all the browsers i tested. it IS somewhat working on the ipad as well BUT:::
when i click my splashimage/playbutton ( -> triggering the load() method) the ipad wont play nor load my video RIGHT AWAY. the videoplayer stays black. however, when i click (trigger load()) a few more times, at some point it will start to work as planned.
the ipad works fine on the w3 html5 video events page. so i copied that page for my purpose, replaced a video with one of my videos and it gives me the FAULTY behaviour. so the problem are my videos, aren't they? the videos are currently hosted on a non-streaming server, is that the problem? my knowledge on that subject is really narrow.
sorry for not including any code and talking very general and abstract about the whole thing but i hope it suffices.
EDIT::: problem (kind of) solved. apparently the server the videos were hosted on, was causing the problems -_-
Could it have something to do with this: how to get your HTML5 MP4 video file to play before being fully downloaded as it could be downloading the video, hence the wait.
I am using HTML5 video tags in a UIWebview on the iPad, and positioning them as needed using CSS. The key part of these videos is that they are designed to take up part, but not all, of the visible area on the page. When I'm doing this in the "normal" mode of displaying content only to the primary UIScreen, everything works great.
However, when an external VGA projector is hooked up as a second UIScreen, the video tag content immediately becomes FULL SCREEN. This seems to also happen in Safari when looking at, for example, YouTube videos. In searching the docs, there seems to be no way to stop / control this behavior.
Is there any way to stop a video tag from forcing its content to go to full screen when a second display is connected?
Unfortunately, using a UIWebView iOS 3.2 doesn't offer any way to do this. Video in a UIWebView always plays fullscreen on an external display using the TV out feature.
However, the good news is that iOS 4 does offer a solution. UIWebView has a couple of new properties:
allowsInlineMediaPlayback
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006950-CH3-SW32
mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006950-CH3-SW33
The former will allow the videos to remain 'inline' as opposed to using the full-screen player.
