YouTube iframe for Windows 8 app - iframe

So I'm using YouTube's iframes in order to show some videos in my app. The thing is I cannot make the videos fullscreen.
I'm using this code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RnYcPJTtV1A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
If you write that on a single html file the browser (all of them) will show you the fullscreen button on the far right. But, that same code on a Win8 app (html of course) will display the video but will not show the fullscreen button.
Do you thing that's what YouTube (google) wants? I mean, should I be doing anything different?

Sebastian,
Something to keep in mind is that iframe within a Windows Store app is designed for limited use only. The certification requirement 2.4 states:
The primary experiences your app provides must take place within the
app
One needs to be very careful about including content from sites you do not control via iframe in a Windows Store app, because this content can change without warning in ways that may break your app or introduce unexpected behavior.
Because YouTube videos may use either Flash or HTML5 for playback, you may find that some videos simply will not play in the context of a Windows Store app, because ActiveX controls are not available in that context.
Given all that, I would not expect to be able to play full-screen video embedding YouTube videos via iframe in a Windows Store app.

VR View Web and iOS

In the VRView web documentation there is the following statement in the known issues section;
360° images will have incorrect orientation in iOS Safari if you explicitly declare your iframe (instead of using the JavaScript API) and the code and images are hosted on different servers.
However as far as I am aware I am not using the iFrame mode of operation, but instead using the .JS method in the examples, however the video is still at 90 degrees when the phone is put into VR Mode.... I can sort of live with the image not quite in full screen mode, but not with the orientation.
Alternatively is there a way to 'self-host' the VR View package, on a Hosting platform, so that the iFrame method of calling the video works?
<iframe src="/vrview/src/embed?video=injected1.mp4&is_stereo=false"></iframe>
Doesnt work as it says Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /vrview/src/embed/ on this server.
Any help gretefully received

Form filling and web scraping from a website

Not a good way to start, but pardon me if this if off-topic, it seems like a programming question though...
From an ASP.NET website I want to open a page in a new browser that has a toolbar at top and an iframe-like window at the bottom. The frame-like window will support tabbed browsing and load a third party website. The toolbar will have buttons that allow the user to manipulate the HTML (form-fill and web-scrape). For example, toolbar buttons may be "Extract Webpage Data" or "Fill Form".
Ideally it would work with IE, Edge, Chrome and Safari, but an absolute minimum requirement is IE, a more preferable minimum requirement is Chrome and Edge.
I have seen this done, well, by other proprietary software. I do not know if they require a specific browser (like IE where they can install a plugin) or how they do it, that is my question.
So I have narrowed this problem down to three possibilities:
Use pure HTML, Javascript, et al. - Using an iFrame almost works perfectly but the content will not be in the same domain so I cannot access the iFrame's HTML.
Use (or write) a proprietary browser - I do not think you can (or want) to launch an EXE from a web page, plus this seems rather complex in itself.
Use (or write) a plug-in - Probably limits use to IE. I think an IE plugin could do what I want based on other plugins I've seen.
I have past desktop programming experience with a web automation and scripting product, while promising, I don't think they offer what I need:
They have an ASP.NET COM component that runs server side so it does not display an interface to the user but can be used to silently fill and scrape a website based on scripts.
They also have a proprietary browser that shows a user interface and runs scripts to fill and scrape. But this is an EXE, so cannot be launched from a web site.
They have an IE Plugin, that adds a companion popup window that attaches itself to IE. Similar to their browser and runs scripts.
Question - This can be done, I've seen it, but what is the mechanism? I'm leaning to an IE plugin.
If plugins are the answer, chrome has extensions, is that a possibility?

KendoUI Embedded External Links

I am using Telerik's KendoUI framework for an HTML5/JS mobile app. When I have views I want to link to inside my app, I do a standard link such as Link which is of course as basic as it gets. The question I have is whether there is a way to make that path an external link, but have the page load inside the content area of the app (such as in an iFrame)? I'm not finding any examples of that online and when I make the link external, my whole app disappears if you click it. The end goal is keeping the link's site content (already mobile friendly) in between the header/footer of my app so they can still navigate it.
Thoughts?
After working through Telerik support, this wasn't natively possible with their framework. I ended up doing a Kendo view and utilized the data-init option to dynamically build an <iframe /> via jQuery and put the link in there so it loaded appropriately. Some might say that's a security concern, however in our case the link is something we put in for them so it's something that will always be trusted.

problem YouTube channel with IE browser

I had youtube channel where I had for in my web site to display this videos from youtube channel .I did my code well but I had a problem with IE browser the sound continuous after I closed the player as you must let the player work after it finished ,So what I can Do?
You probably didnt reset either the object or embed container or something.
Thing is that internet explorer embeds flash differently.
You probably just deleted the content element so it became invisible but did not unset the flash media.
consider using this widely used javascript library to take care of all that for you:

Flex video/audio chat for a site

Looking for a component which can be embedded inside my site (PHP, ASP.NET...whatever) and give a support for video chat.
I'm not a flex developer and would like to use a component. There are some/many video chats available, like flashcoms, red5chat...but all of those are heavy(monolit) components.
What I would like to have on my site is just a small video showing output from my camera (me) and another video showing the other party...but those videos should be split, not in the same flash component, but separate (two different EMBED tags on my page).
Are there any components available to do that (of course with support from appropriate media server)? Are there any good guides on how to develop such a component?
Thank you very much!
You will have to program in flash, there is no stright direct components just waiting to be implemented, you can use flash CS3 instead of flex!!
Which let you built an small video object to display the camera, publish it, and then capturing on another swf with an small video object but there you play a NetStream Object and add it to an Video Object and voila!!!
