I am using this code to play YouTube videos on iOS
- (void)embedYouTube:(NSString *)urlString frame:(CGRect)frame
{
NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><head><meta name = \"viewport\" content = \"initial-scale = 1.0, user-scalable = yes, width = 320\"/></head><body style=\"background:#00;margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px\"><div><object width=\"320\" height=\"180\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/%@&f=gdata_videos&c=ytapi-my-clientID&d=nGF83uyVrg8eD4rfEkk22mDOl3qUImVMV6ramM\"></param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/%@&f=gdata_videos&c=ytapi-my-clientID&d=nGF83uyVrg8eD4rfEkk22mDOl3qUImVMV6ramM\"type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\"></embed></object></div></body></html>", urlString, urlString];
UIWebView *videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[videoView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];
[self.view addSubview:videoView];
[videoView release];
}
It works like charm but I want a different behaviour. Now a thumbnail of the video appears on the webview (nice!) but when I tap the play icon it opens in full screen. I need that playback is done in the same window since I need to show more stuff.
Any clue of how making that? Thansk in advance

If anyone is still facing this problem, below is by far the best solution I have seen. Works like a charm.
self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10,300, 200)];
[self.webView setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback:YES];
[self.webView setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction:NO];
[self.view addSubview:self.webView];
NSString* embedHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\
<html>\
<body style='margin:0px;padding:0px;'>\
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/iframe_api'></script>\
<script type='text/javascript'>\
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady()\
{\
ytplayer=new YT.Player('playerId',{events:{onReady:onPlayerReady}})\
}\
function onPlayerReady(a)\
{ \
a.target.playVideo(); \
}\
</script>\
<iframe id='playerId' type='text/html' width='%d' height='%d' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/%@?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&playsinline=1&autoplay=1' frameborder='0'>\
</body>\
</html>", 300, 200, @"JW5meKfy3fY"];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourceURL]];
