HCYoutubeParser is a class which lets you get the iOS compatible video url from YouTube so you don't need to use a UIWebView or open the YouTube Application.
It's really simple to get going
// Gets an dictionary with each available youtube url
NSDictionary *videos = [HCYoutubeParser h264videosWithYoutubeURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE"]];
// Presents a MoviePlayerController with the youtube quality medium
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[videos objectForKey:@"medium"]]] autorelease];
[self presentModalViewController:mp animated:YES];
// To get a thumbnail for an image there is now a async method for that
[HCYoutubeParser thumbnailForYoutubeURL:url
thumbnailSize:YouTubeThumbnailDefaultHighQuality
completeBlock:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
self.thumbailImageView.image = image;
}
else {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:[error localizedDescription] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Dismiss" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}
}];
