Cordova YoutubeVideoPlayer Plugin

Play Youtube Videos in a native Video Player on Android & iOS.

This fork works on Android 6, and does not force landscape mode on Android.

iOS plugin uses XCDYouTubeKit by Cédric Luthi:
https://github.com/0xced/XCDYouTubeKit

Android version (up to 4.4) uses OpenYoutubeActivity by Keyes Labs:
https://code.google.com/p/android-youtube-player

Android version (5.0+) uses YouTube Android Player API: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubePlayer

Android with YouTube App Version 111662130 requires a workaround to resolve an App issue: https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=8244

Installation

cordova plugin add https://github.com/JonSmart/CordovaYoutubeVideoPlayer

Usage

YoutubeVideoPlayer.openVideo('YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID', function(result) { console.log('YoutubeVideoPlayer result = ' + result); });

For Android 5.0+ you will need to add the following to config.xml

<preference name="YouTubeDataApiKey" value="[YOUR YOUTUBE API]" />

with your own YouTube Key.

The callback is called when the video window is closed. (Work in Progress - should be working for IOS).
