How to embed YouTube video on iOS and play it directly on UIWebView without full screen?

by

If anyone is still facing this problem, below is by far the best solution I have seen. Works like a charm.

self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10,300, 200)];
        [self.webView setAllowsInlineMediaPlayback:YES];
        [self.webView setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction:NO];

        [self.view addSubview:self.webView];

        NSString* embedHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\
                               <html>\
                                    <body style="margin:0px;padding:0px;">\
                                        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>\
                                        <script type="text/javascript">\
                                            function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady()\
                                            {\
                                                ytplayer=new YT.Player('playerId',{events:{onReady:onPlayerReady}})\
                                            }\
                                            function onPlayerReady(a)\
                                            { \
                                                a.target.playVideo(); \
                                            }\
                                        </script>\
                                        <iframe id='playerId' type="text/html" width="%d" height="%d" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/%@?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&playsinline=1&autoplay=1" frameborder="0">\
                                    </body>\
                               </html>", 300, 200, @"JW5meKfy3fY"];
        [self.webView loadHTMLString:embedHTML baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourceURL]];
