YouTube and Cordova

[Maxime De Bruyn]

Does anyone knows why some embedded YouTube videos start to play right away and others stay in a loading mode forever ?
It seems it is notre due to restriction. When one clicks on the title and goes to YouTube the videos plays on mobile.
Is there any plugin that solves this problem ?

Thanks a lot!

Try the video player plugin for android, I think it supported youtube videos

Thank you for your answer.

Is is this one ? https://github.com/macdonst/VideoPlayer 

I will try to install it now! 

But do you think it is possible to use it with the iframe API of youtube ? It would be nice to have access to it!

Thanks to this link (https://github.com/justinobney/PhoneGap-Video) I managed to install the plugin easily. Indeed the videos are playing well but the user is taken to a Youtube webpage.. Not the best user experience! Does anyone has an idea of how to display the video on the app and not an a youtube webpage ? 

Thanks a lot!

you can create a phonegap plugin using youtube API https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/

I'd love to but my programing skills are limited to a bit of javascript/jquery... 

Anyway thank you very much! I'll start to study java in order to build a native app using this API :-)

I'm using a YouTube plugin that works well.
