Add player vars while initializing youtube sdk:

NSDictionary *playerVars = @{
                             @"origin" : @"http://www.youtube.com",
                             };
[self.playerView loadWithVideoId:@"KOvoD1upTxM" playerVars:playerVars];

Enjoy!

One option could be to just skip the video if you get an error message or load new one. You can do this by intercepting the YTPlayerView requests.. Example here!

Hi @JV17,

About this matter, I was wondering how you could detect that the content is forbidden in order to display a custom message inside the app when this is the case.

Indeed, I don't receive a callback from this delegate "- (void)playerView:(YTPlayerView *)playerView receivedError:(YTPlayerError)error", currently.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best,

@Kowaio I will just check what it will get returned within the error or as mentioned above and then just trigger a function that will display this message everytime you get that response.

Your video is playing back fine for me using the latest YTPlayerView classes.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSDictionary *playerVars = @{
                                 @"playsinline" : @1,
                                 @"showinfo" : @0,
                                 @"rel" : @0,
                                 @"modestbranding" : @1,
                                 @"controls" : @1
                                 };

    [self.playerView loadWithVideoId:@"ASM7f1E-dy8" playerVars:playerVars];

}

Hello @JALsnipe,

Mine was this one: JrGBmjtOKlM

However, I think that it cannot be played on mobile devices due to some restriction of the author. I might be wrong though.

@JV17: I succeeded to detect it on the didChangeToState callback by checking the "kYTPlayerStateUnstarted". Thanks again for your help.

Best,

Thanks for the new URL. It doesn't appear that I get any error callback when trying to load that video:

2015-01-28 15:50:28.573 TestApp[2529:350224] Player in Unstarted State

Maybe one of the other experts can chime in, but it looks like the class tries to play the video, something in the iFrame is blocking it, and the player returns to the unstarted state. I don't think there's any way to get around this embedded/mobile blocking

[Kowaio]

@JALsnipe: Yes indeed. I didn't received any error callback as well. Since I needed to detect it either way, the "Unstarted" state kind of does the trick in my case. For now...

But yeah, I think that this is coming from YT API and can't be overpassed.

The MAIN Problem is the video can be played on Android!!

So my company is developing an app for iOS and Android, basically it's an app to play curated video from Youtube.
And now I get this problem when certain video is playable on Android app but not in iOS app. If it is caused by restriction of the video how is it possible to be played on Android??

Here is my video "gKHQ715IMyc"
