I have an app that has a video section, the idea is to have a tableview that will display a youtube thumbnail and infos about the video on each row. I know how to get the videos on a regular view with UIWebView but how can i have that on a cell?
Use the gdata-objective-c client. It supports the YouTube data API so you can get thumbnail and other info about a video using this library.

I am building and VOD app, and trying to implement Youtube like on scrubbing showing thumbnails images for the relative time frame.
I have generated video thumbnails for every minute of total video length, now is there any way built in already to show these for HLS videos, or I need to build some custom solution for it?
If anyone has worked on this before would like some insights on it.
Is there a way to present youtube videos in app other than using webView, I've tried YoutubePlayer_in_WKWebView and hasn't been working. webView works but I just want the video to be displayed, not the whole page.
You would have to obtain the actual video file if you want just the video to display without the rest of the YouTube page. While officially it's unethical to rip videos from YT, unofficially it's not that hard.
I am trying to embed a YouTube video in my application, and I am going through this tutorial as a start. I get the red screen when I run it on the stimulator, so I presume everything went well.
Now when the user taps on the screen while the video is playing I need a toolbar to appear, with a slider showing the length of the video (and the user could slide to his/her desired time on the video).
I need to know if this feature comes by default when you embed the YoutTube video, or do i have to code it? If i have to code it how should i do it? Any sample codes or tutorial?
The only way to show a YouTube video in an iOS app is by having it inside a UIWebView (that is what the tutorial walks you through). Once the user taps the "play" button, the video should go full screen and automatically present the standard video controls that you see when you play videos on iOS.
Youtube provides the HTML code for embedding videos in web pages. This HTML code will also produce a video when embedded in a UIWebView. While the video is playing, all of the standard Youtube video controls (Play, Pause, Time Slider) should also show up in the UIWebView.
I have an App which allows the user to play a selection of videos.
What I would like is to have one or two thumbnails shown on my view which shows the user that if they click on these images it will launch a video.
How do I capture a screen shot from the video to use as an thumbnail or do I have to user some other random image?
Try using thumbnailImageAtTime:timeOption with an MPMoviePlayerController.
You can also request to fetch multiple Thumbnails asynchronously (requestThumbnailImagesAtTimes:timeOption:). In that case you have to register an observer for the MPMoviePlayerThumbnailImageRequestDidFinishNotification.
