YouTube video not playing in some mobile browsers.

In some mobile browsers (Vivo browser, ) a YouTube video wrapped in Plyr class is not playing. I've tried both progressive enhancement and the normal

tag. A vanilla YouTube video

plyr seems to generally not work on mobile, at least for youtube videos. Click to play doesn't work, player.togglePlay doesn't work and player.playing is also broken. All of these are ok on desktop chrome, but fail in ios safari or even when chrome dev is set to touch mobile layout

Same for me using YouTube iframe wrapped in .plyr div. Works fine on desktop. On iOS the custom controls don't show and the video doesn't play at all.
