This demonstrates a setup to play a playlist of Youtube videos within Flowplayer Native.
Hiding Related Videos and Share buttons
Since 2018 Youtube disabled the option to disable related videos and share buttons. This is undesirable. A working fix has been implemented to hide these elements. However for subtitles to display properly this fix needs to be disabled for subtitles.
