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 am trying to embed a YouTube channel using the google widget, which is working apart from two problems:
1/ The full screen icon does not seem to work
2/ When the video plays full screen (by selecting 'Play on YouTube')it is not HD by default
Here is the channel embedded on our site :
Embedded Channel Example
Hope you can help
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 would have loved to use -webkit-transform scale() on an embedded youtube iframe for mobile users. But if you visit http://jsfiddle.net/tKbHz/9/ on iOS, there is some funkiness with the scaling of the iframe. This is not the case in Chrome or Desktop Safari (Mac). I believe I have found a bug within youtube - because other iframes seem to behave properly. Anyone experience this or know of a fix?
Doesn't the youtube video on mobile devices just go to the media player anyway?
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.
