Answer 1

For me this library did work perfectly! https://github.com/hellozimi/HCYoutubeParser

Answer 2

There is no official API to get the "right" url, and likely there never will be. See the following link on the bottom.

Note that your method based on UIWebView does not play the movie in MPMoviePlayerController, but rather in a custom class called YTMoviePlayer. You can confirm it by playing a movie and then dumping the subview hierarchy starting at [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow].
