Try this code:

  NSString *html = @"\
  <html><head>\
  <style type=\"text/css\">\
  body {\
  background-color: transparent;\
  color: white;\
  }\
  </style>\
  </head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
  <embed id=\"yt\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/6eK-W32IME0?fs=1&hl=en_US&enablejsapi=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \
  width=\"320\" height=\"200\"></embed>\
  </body></html>";


  // Load the html into the webview
  [videoView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];

Also, I have found that the "youtu.be" does not work properly if your testing on an American iOS. It needs to be localized.

Keep in mind that this sort of youtube video playing through UIWebView will always show a white screen on the simulator. You need to test it in a device to know if it actually works.

Good luck!

try 

- (void)embedYouTube:(NSString*)urls frame:(CGRect)frame { 

    urls=[urls stringByAppendingString:@"&autoplay=1"];
    NSString *htmlString =[NSString stringWithFormat: @"<html><head> <meta name = \"viewport\" content = \"initial-scale = 1.0, user-scalable = no, width = 212\"/></head> <body style=\"background:#F00;margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px\"><div><object width=\"212\" height=\"212\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"%@\">",urls];

    NSString *htm2=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"</param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param>    <embed src=\"%@\"type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"212\" height=\"212\"></embed>    </object></div></body></html>",urls];
//    NSString* embedHTML = @"<html><head> </head><body style=\"margin:0\"> <iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text/html\" width=\"%d\" height=\"%d\" src=\"%@\" frameborder=\"0\" allowFullScreen></iframe> </body></html>";  

    NSString* html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",htmlString,htm2];
    float version = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];


    if(version<5.0)
    { 

        NSRange r=[urls rangeOfString:@"v="];
        NSRange ran=NSMakeRange(r.location+2, [urls length]-r.location-2);
        NSString *vid=[urls substringWithRange:ran];
    html=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<embed id=\"yt\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%@&fs=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"></embed>", vid];
    }
    //NSLog(html);
