Yes I am having same thing. I do the playlist code "httpvp" works great but have never been able to see anything on my iPhone. Site is http://www.byeveryword.org
Getting the same problem using Android as well. Playlist give the box with the ? in it. (Although if I run it using Android 2.2 with flash 10.1 installed it works fine if that helps.)
Finally, other people are having the same problem as I. I have tried embedding playlists with and without smart youtube and they work fine except on the iphone, in that the space is made on the page for a player but nothing appears.
So, it looks like a problem with youtube for iphone and I would guess the ipad as well.
It would be wonderful to have my suspicions confirmed that it is not possible to embed youtube playlists at for for Apple iP* type units.
Even better would be to get a fix.
So as a work around I will have to make a separate page for iphone and ipad visitors that displays single videos as these work fine with iP* type devices.
Anyway, I just wanted to stoke the debate again, and confirm it is an issue.
Just a follow up, if anyone is in the same position and does not know what to do. I gave up as I convinced myself that iphones just will not display or play nice with youtube playlists. Therefore, just bite the bullet and display a playlist to users who are not on iphone and display a list of single videos to iphone users.
I used media queries to do this
in the head of the HTML page (and this rule can be placed in any stylesheet):
<style type="text/css"> @media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (min-device-width: 320px;) {
#video{display:none;} /*this being the ID for the youtube playlist*/ #iPvideo {display:block;} /* ID for the list of youtube videos */ #iPvideo>* {display:block;float:left;padding:10px 0;} /* identifies the objects as descendants of the iPvideo div */ } </style>
This tells iphones to display a list of single videos. Then it tells Not iphones to display the embedded playlist and hide the list of single videos.

Single videos work well from wordpress on the Iphone/ipod. Is there a way to make the playlists work, just getting the ? cube instead of image.

Interestingly http://www.prelovac.com/vladim…..-playlists does not work on the iphone 3g with 4.2.1.

Anyhoo, just thought I would share
