In my app I have played a youtube video by embedding it, but how can i only play the audio of the video? I tried using AVAudioPlayer and use the videos url as the file path but it didnt work, any help?

No it is not possible, only one workaround is just to use a hidden UIWebView
and play in that.
Youtube forbids playing audio only! here is the message from youtube
