I need to play some youtube videos within my iPhone app, can I use the native youtube app?

I've tried to embedding the video, but it doesnt work well.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks

The simplest way to play YouTube videos is to just use the URL scheme for YouTube. Opening a YouTube URL will open the video in the YouTube app instead of in Safari:

NSString *stringURL = @"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZH30T99MaM";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

You could create a new UIWebView and open m.youtube.com link inside it.
