I am trying to play VEVO Video in iPhone using LBYoutTubeView.

https://github.com/Ariharan/LBYouTubeView

Below is the VEVO Video URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I have got this URL using the YouTube Data API.

But I am unable to play the video.

Adding an origin parameter, even if it is just a dummy URL, seems to allow most VEVO videos to play back in an embedded iFrame player:

Full iFrame example:

<iframe id='playerId' type='text/html' width='100%' height=100%' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/jCHE0Tjw6MA?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&playsinline=0&autoplay=1&origin=http://example.com/' frameborder='0'>
