Embedded YouTube video playback

Just wondering if anyone knows of a workaround. It used to be that if you tapped the video an additional time after pressing 'play', you would be asked if you wanted to complete the action in YouTube, Browser, etc. Selecting 'YouTube' would open the app and begin playing through there. I found that as an acceptable workaround, but it seems to not be an option anymore.

Related: When on some forums, and encountering an embedded video, it seems that if you play the video and then hold your finger on the display while the video is playing, only the beginning of the video will be choppy.

BTW, sound is always available.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
 
I see that people are reading the thread. Is the reason that I'm not getting responses because no one else is experiencing this issue, or because there isn't a known workaround?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts/experiences.

No one is obligated to respond to you you know. This is not a very busy forum. Many of the views you're seeing are from spiders and bots sent by search engines to index the page. Also, I don't know where you live, but here in the US it is a big holiday week and many people are on vacation.

Wow.

You ought to see if you can find a different perspective on my second post. I was further refining my OP to gain information on weather I have a specific problem or if it is a common one? I was regearing the post to see if I could poll on the mere existence of the issue, not accusing you, personally, of being inactive.

Hop off your high horse, pal. I live just outside of our nations capital and have probably done more than you have to secure our nations freedoms that you just piss away.

If you can, please provide a link to the webpage with the embedded video. I can try to access it from my Galaxy Tab 10.1, and see what results I get.

Here's one. There was discussion on a forum that I frequent that piqued my interest. This was the link.

Sorry that my video isn't in better taste, but I feel like it's taken forever for me to respond and I haven't had much time for leisure browsing recently.
