one thing that annoys me on youtube is that it always starts playing the video automatically after opening the video page.
is there a way how to prevent it? i don't see such option in profile settings.

There plenty of greasemonkey scripts available to do this exact thing (search for 'autoplay'). Also, this belongs on Super User.

You can install the flashblock firefox extention. That will prevent anything flash from starting automatically. This works perfectly on youtube, and as a bonus it will get rid of a huge amount of annoying ads with blinking text or whatnot.

Note
I barely have any knowledge on web development but got some idea.
What I'm doing
I'm trying to make a Rust program to scrape any link to a media in a website, like how JDownloader 2 does. Not required to find all media, just any media this is simple enough to get.
Problems
Resolving links to media (Blob, Data)
Site that result differently on browser to a single get request (I have some idea that this might need a web driver but I want to have least dependency as much as possible)
Question
How did JDownloader find these media so I can implement it in my crate? (Just enough information to get start)

Im using Xcode and toying around trying to make my first program. In my program i want it to have a place to insert a URL, then go to the URL fetch the audio from the data on the web page and then add that audio to a playlist in the app.
Along with all of the other excellent iOS resources available on the web, Apple's own developer site has plenty of good documentation and guides. Have a look at this document for some information on playing back an audio/video stream from a URL

I’m planning on using a UIWebView for my app, and making it more user friendly by having a “reader” version of the webpage. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Here’s an example taken from the reddit app that displays a regular webpage, then when you press a button, it transforms the page into a “reader” version. (like how safari does it). Thanks!
I don’t know of any API for UIWebView or a third-party library, but many apps use Readability Mobilizer, Instapaper Mobilizer, or Google Mobilizer. Just pass your URL to one of these services, and load the resulting page.

I was on here searching for other stuff and stumbled upon a website that had a demo on the site of an iphone and showed a bunch of stock views and tableviews. I remember it saying that a bunch of big apps used their source. Like facebook and skype. I tried searching everywhere for it again. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Was it Three20 perhaps?
GitHub?
www.github.com
Repository for social, open source code sharing.
Search Three20 on Google! ;) There are many UI codes!

Just by messing around a little it seems that the video stream is not ascii. i tested by downloading the stream. It would be insane if it was. Theres so many videos. So that couldnt be it. Youtube seems to not work with javascript disable (not counting mobile if true).
How is it being done? is it javascript magic? is the SWF running the video through a filter in realtime? (I doubt its a native filter so how is the filter compiled) its really cool. I cant imagine how this is running realtime yet it is!
MPlayer uses AALib for this type of effect. YouTube have probably ported it to ActionScript.
