Well, we're touching upon a sore point there; the normal desktop-approach does not work on mobile, as youtube cannot autoplay in mobile browsers (so you'd have to press play twice, which is unacceptable).
There are 2 solutions to doing WP YouTube Lyte on mobile that do work:
- the current solution: embedding the full youtube player (i.e. not a lyte one) which can play inline (if the platform supports that), but that is sub-optimal performance-wise and -as you saw- it adds touch-events to your page (the orientationChange issue has been solved more gracefully in 1.4.0).
- the alternative: embedding the lyte player, but call on the OS to decide how to play the video (so usually not inline, but using the external youtube app)
I'm leaning towards switching to the 2nd solution which would be better performance-wise and would solve your touch-issues, but from a user-experience point of view might not be ideal.
So what's your point of view? :-)
