[YouTube-API] Re: Embed youtube on mobile page (So it behaves like m.youtube.com)

Hello Martin,

The playback mechanism that m.youtube.com uses is not available for
third-party embedders, at least not at the present time.

The <obejct>/<embed> mechanism of embedding videos, e.g.

<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://
www.youtube.com/v/L5ebSn9HgJ4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param
name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param
name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://
www.youtube.com/v/L5ebSn9HgJ4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-
shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"
width="640" height="390"></embed></object>

can be used and should trigger full-screen playback via the native
YouTube application for Android devices that don't have the Flash
plugin enabled.

Cheers,
