Youtube video playing on browser but not on electron-js app

Question

I am using plyr.io to run youtube videos from electron-js app as well as browser based app. Few videos are not playing in electron-js app but playing on browser application(Chrome). Is it anything to do with copyright issue?

Below is one video which didn't run on electronjs-app.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJOTlE1K90k.

API returns the below JSON

 {
     "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse",

    }
  ]
}

Answer 1

Youtube makes some embedded videos strictly need public domains to run from instead of the localhost environment (ie: embedded video in electron application). try embedding the video on a public domain (jsfiddle for example) and it will work just fine.i remmeber for an opensource project i had to overcome this issue to display full youtube website content in iframe and managed to do it with electron v1.4.3 , didn't find out a way with later electron versions though.
