Variables

@SuppressLint("InlinedApi")
private static final int PORTRAIT_ORIENTATION = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 9
        ? ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
        : ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT;

@SuppressLint("InlinedApi")
private static final int LANDSCAPE_ORIENTATION = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 9
        ? ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
        : ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE;

private YouTubePlayer mPlayer = null;
private boolean mAutoRotation = false;

OnCreate

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mAutoRotation = Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),
            Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0) == 1;
}

Implement OnInitializedListener

@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
        boolean wasRestored) {
    mPlayer = player;
    player.setOnFullscreenListener(this);
    
    if (mAutoRotation) {
        player.addFullscreenControlFlag(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_ORIENTATION
                | YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_SYSTEM_UI
                | YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_ALWAYS_FULLSCREEN_IN_LANDSCAPE
                | YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CUSTOM_LAYOUT);
    } else {
        player.addFullscreenControlFlag(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_ORIENTATION
                | YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_SYSTEM_UI
                | YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CUSTOM_LAYOUT);
    }
}

Inplement onConfigurationChanged

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        if (mPlayer != null)
            mPlayer.setFullscreen(true);
    } 
    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
        if (mPlayer != null)
            mPlayer.setFullscreen(false);
    }
}

@Override
public void onFullscreen(boolean fullsize) {
    if (fullsize) {
        setRequestedOrientation(LANDSCAPE_ORIENTATION);
    } else {
        setRequestedOrientation(PORTRAIT_ORIENTATION);
    }
}
