I patched the source and provided an update that works. You can
download the file as an attachment to the comment:
http://code.google.com/p/android-youtube-player/issues/detail?id=3
Instructions:
1) Load the jar into your project
2) Add to your manifest file:
<activity
android:name="com.controlledsenility.android.youtube.OpenYouTubePlayerActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"
/>
3) Call the activity the same way as before:
String url = "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yourvideoid";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
String videoId = uri.getQueryParameter("v");
Intent videoIntent = new Intent(null, Uri.parse("ytv://" + videoId),
this,OpenYouTubePlayerActivity.class);
startActivity(videoIntent);
