Use the embed code provided by YouTube on the video's page, not a link to the actual video file:

I'm using Flowplayer6 / HTML5 wordpress plugin to play videos on the site.
I have trouble playing the player on the phone. By clicking on the player, the video does not run .
Please find an online example of the problem below:
http://www.muzika.com.br/vertice/player_portacurtas/filme/?name=j_carlos_o_cronista_do_rio
obs .: the 5/2 is normal to stop the video.
According to the know issues section in flowplayer documentation, it seems that:
Mobile devices and iOS do not support automatic playback on page load.
Volume and mute state cannot be controlled on mobile platforms and
iOS.
Mobile phones and iPod do not allow inline playback in the
browser. The native player component takes over entirely. They
therefore also do not fully support the JavaScript API, especially
when it comes to interaction with the page.
You will find in the documentation some workarounds, but maybe this is not the right plugin for what you need.
I am using JW-Player in my website and I am generating the embed code against all my videos, but there is something missing because when I embed that code in to my webpage video plays on my PC but it's not playing on Android & iPhone.
I want that my embed code must work on these too.
The player has built in social sharing options.

I'm working on a website and i use a wordpress plug-in that embeds youtube videos.
Now it has this great option to show only an image of the video and load the video only if you press the video so the page won't take a lot of time to load.
The problem is that in that mode it takes that video photo from youtube and it also takes a big, red, play button image that is ugly as hell :)
Now that button's css is coming from some external link (http://s.ytimg.com/yts/cssbin/www-embed-vflSBO3VV.css) and i don't know how to over ride it.
Any suggestions?
That is the site i'm working on btw - http://www.lab.gezerweb.com/ClipPress/
Thanks.
I believe you're talking about an embed that uses controls=2, correct? (See https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#controls)
If so, then no, there's no way to override the default play button in the cued state.
I need to implement a video player that should play files(wmv, mpeg, mp4 etc..), I have tried object tag, but it requires media player plugin to play I dont want this kind. Somebody can suggest me.
Thanks in advance.
For playing Video in Website, the users need to download plugin (WMP or any other player). Without the plugin, Video cannot stream or play in browser.
I've embedded a YouTube video onto a site (built in drupal) using the embed code from the video's YouTube page.
If I visit that page on an iPhone, it picks up the fact that there is a YouTube video and displays the icon that you click to pop open the video and watch it.
If I visit the same page on a Palm Pre it just displays a blank space where the video should be. If I visit the video on the YouTube page itself, however, the Palm Pre picks up the fact that there is a video and allows you to open it.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem and has some insights they can offer. I'd love to have a more graceful solution than just adding a link to the YouTube page below the embedded player
Thanks!
You could compare the embed code actually used on the YouTube page (as opposed to the one they offer for quick copy & paste) with the one you are using, as there are quite some different ways to embed a video.
I would expect them to use the SWFObject for embedding, which is a tiny bit more effort to use on your page, but usually works a lot more reliable than the 'old fashioned' embed tag offered for quick copy&paste.
You might also try requesting the YouTube page faking the user agent of the Palm Pre, as they might deliver something different for those, but that is pretty unlikely.
