Embedded youtube Playlists do not work on iPad (iOS)

I am embedding a Youtube playlist and it works fine on normal desktop browsers, but on iPad it is not working. From the various questions here and some other info I read that Youtube is capable of detecting the client and serve an HTML5 version of the video instead. However, it seems that it works only for a single video URL. When I am using a playlist URL instead it does not work. I am using the <frame> embedding approach.

Is there any way to go around this? I can't seem to find any settings on the Youtube playlist to make it 'html5 friendly'.
