I am using a Phonegap plugin for playing a video in my iOS app. I'm able to play a video with the URL format like http://easyhtml5video.com/images/happyfit2.mp4.
How do I play Youtube videos using the phonegap-videoplayer-plugin?
There are some methods that will give you direct link to youtube videos. Use "gdata" option to find all possible video formats.
Then parse the result to get desired link. Hope this might be useful
YouTube Terms of Service: "You agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Service itself, the Embeddable Player, or other explicitly authorized means YouTube may designate."
But everywhere I found the code to be edited in .m and .h files. None have explained how to use it.
That's because you can only directly use MPMoviePlayerController from native apps (written in Objective-C). For any other technology you'll have to have an intermediary layer in between.
From googling, I found this plugin for PhoneGap that claims to integrate with MPMoviePlayerController. I've no idea if it's any good, but it might do as a starting point.
try to give the youtube url in this format.

You will get the desired result. But Autoplay is not enabled, as Apple stopped supporting autoplay to save user's bandwidth
