Usage

1) Download the zip file and extract it. Then add the YoutubeHelper folder to your project.

2) After these folder have been added to the project (remember to select copy file if necessary when adding to the project) you can start using this helper library, it's really simple...

3) Create a player property.

    @property (nonatomic, strong) YTPlayerView *player;

4) Then, set the player with the preferred frame.

    // setting up the player
    self.player = [[YTPlayerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 350)];

5) Then, you can load a playlist or just a simple video with the youtube videoId or playlistId (more options available, like loading 5 multiple videos).

    // loading videoId 
    [self.player loadWithVideoId:@"O8TiugM6Jg"];

    // loading playlist
    [self.player loadWithPlaylistId:@"PLEE58C6029A8A6ADE"];

6) Optional, you can also load the video/playlist with some parameters to customize the youtube player.

    // first create your dictionary to set the different parameters
    @property (nonatomic, strong) NSDictionary *dictionary;

    // setting up player parameters
    self.dictionary = @{@"listType" : @"playlist",
                        @"autoplay" : @"1",
                        @"loop" : @"1",
                        @"playsinline" : @"0",
                        @"controls" : @"2",
                        @"cc_load_policy" : @"0",};
    
    // loading playlist with player paramaters
    [self.player loadWithPlaylistId:@"PLEE58C6029A8A6ADE" playerVars:self.dictionary];

    // ******** OR **********

    // use some customs parameters which will be load to the video like this.. (just for simplicity)
    self.player.autoplay = YES;
    self.player.modestbranding = YES;
 
    // and then just call load the playlist/video
    [self.player loadWithPlaylistId:@"PLEE58C6029A8A6ADE"];

7) Finally, add the player to your view and Done!

    // adding to subview
    [self.view addSubview:self.player];

8) Extra, Some helper functions were added to the project that you might want to use (just set the variable before loading the video) as...

    // allows landscape mode 
    self.player.allowLandscapeMode = YES;

    // force to go back to portrait when exit fullscreen (this requires extra settings)
    self.player.forceBackToPortraitMode = YES; 

    // for forcing the portrait mode and allowing landscape you need to do this in your AppDelegate

    // this in your AppDelegate.h
    @property (nonatomic) BOOL videoIsInFullscreen;

    // and this in your AppDelegate.m
    - (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window{
        if(self.videoIsInFullscreen == YES) {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
        }
        else {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
        }
    }

DONE!
