For Vimeo player you can check this link https://github.com/lilfaf/YTVimeoExtractor it plays the video in real player and if you want to run the video in uiwebview,here is the code for that https://stackoverflow.com/a/15918011/1865424.

Pass you URL of YouTube Video in “urlStr”.

//In .h file
UIWebView *videoView;
// In .m file

videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 385)];

[self embedYouTube :urlStr  frame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 385)];

[self.view addSubview:videoView];

// methos to embed URL in HTML & load it to UIWebView

- (void)embedYouTube:(NSString*)url frame:(CGRect)frame

{

NSString* embedHTML = @”\

\

\

\

\

”;



NSString* html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, url, frame.size.width, frame.size.height];

if(videoView == nil) {

videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];

[self.view addSubview:videoView];

}

[videoView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];

}
