[YouTube-API] Re: iFrame API cueVideoById causing player to resize on iPhone/iPad

Hello,

Just to update folks, the Players engineering team is working to
resolve two separate issues affecting iOS iframe playback:

One issue results in the "You need to upgrade your Flash Player..."
error message. This message appears to be triggered when there's an
attempt to play monetized videos (i.e. videos with ads) using the
iframe embed on iOS WebKit. This error message is obviously
inappropriate, since there's no Flash Player on iOS, but in the end
the video still might not actually play even when the error message is
changed, because not all monetized videos are currently playable on
iOS devices.

There's another issue related to the iframe player resizing on the
page after playback starts. That's also being worked on.

I do not yet have any information about whether one or both of those
issues will be resolved in time for this week's push of new player
code, which will take place Wednesday evening PDT. I'll update this
thread with more information when I have it.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
