[YouTube-API] Re: Youtube iframe embed set webkit-playsinline

My guess (and this is just a guess), is that the youtube iOS6 app video player is a full native implementation and not using a UIWebView.

The behavior of the player is very different than one which a UIWebView would bring up. On rotation to landscape it automatically goes full screen and the controls on the landscape player are very different from standard iOS controls from a UIWebView player.

I am curious how the new Youtube app (for iOS6) does it? 

is it embedding webkit-playsinline into the video tag?

HI All,

I'm trying with 0 success to set the webkit-playsinline attribute on the video element created with an iframe youtube embed.

The code I'm using is from a youtube api example I found a whlie ago:

// 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "http://www.youtube.com/player_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

// 3. This function creates an (and YouTube player)
//    after the API code downloads.
var player;
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
  player = new YT.Player('player', {
    height: '538',
    width: '750',
    videoId: 'u1zgFlCw8Aw',
    events: {
      'onReady': onPlayerReady,
      'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange
    }
  });
}

Anybody know of a solution?
