Play youtube video in iphone app in ios version lower than 5.1.1?

I want to play youTube video using the YouTube URL.

I was able to play the video in iOS version 5.1.1, but the video does not play in iOS version 5.0.1 and 4.0 or lower. I use webview to play videos.

for iOS below 5 you need to use iframe:

NSString *youTubeVideoHTML = @"<iframe id=\"yt\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text/html\" width=\"280\" height=\"186\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxx\" frameborder=\"0\">"; and for ios 5 above we can use embed : NSString *youTubeVideoHTML = @"<html><head>\ <body style=\"margin:0\">\ <embed id=\"yt\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx?autoplay=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \ width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\"></embed>\ </body></html>";

Note. In iOS 6, I found out that the url only works if we pass the youtube URL as: http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxx?autoplay=1

Hope this works.

From your comment, it looks like you are using the wrong embed code, now you are inserting youtube, like

 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Cw2RzvK13F4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

As already mentioned, flash will not play on the iPhone, so it needs to use the HTML5 version, unfortunately, I don’t think that 100% of YouTube videos were converted, but most of them should work.

You need to make sure that you are using the correct URL format for embedded videos. They recently changed it.

Youtube and Embedded Player Options - YouTube - Google Developers

It looks like this:

Here is my code that works well in all previous versions of iOS 5. Just try this code. I am sure this will fix your problem.

 // Over here Just replace this url with your one's. NSString *pdfString = @"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe39vPFabuA"; NSString *htmlString = @"<html><head>\n" "<meta name = \"viewport\" content = \"initial-scale = 1.0, user-scalable = no, width = 320\"/></head>\n" "<body style=\"background:FFF;margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px\">\n" "<div><object width=\"320\" height=\"416\">\n" "<param name=\"movie\" value=\"%@\"></param>\n" "<param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param>\n" "<embed src=\"%@\"\n" "type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"320\" height=\"416\"></embed>\n" "</object></div></body></html>\n"; [webView loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithFormat:htmlString,[pdfString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]],[pdfString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]] baseURL:nil];

In addition, be sure to check the code only on the device . Testing on Simulator will not play the video.
