[YouTube-API] Re: Iframe videos acting strange when being viewed on iphone

Hello Rick,

I got a chance to test the playback experience on an iPad 1 running
iOS 5 just now, and I'm not able to recreate the same issues I saw on
Chrome on Android (which is definitely a bug that's being actively
investigated). It would help if there were some pattern or somewhat
reliable way to reproduce the issue that I could pass along to the
engineering team. Do you happen to know if the playback issues only
occur on a specific iOS release, for instance, or only on iPhones and
not on iPads?

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
