Error loading on Apple Safari
Hi there!
I'm using your library to load YouTube videos on my app, however It's not working on iPhone Safari. I get the error Partial Content Code 206.
It seams that it's something specific to Safari. I searched the web and I found the following:

Do you have any ideas on how to solve it?
Best regards, Marcus.
Yes, sorry, this will be fixed. I've been tied up with some other pressing projects but will find sometime this weekend to take a look. I'll try to get a fix pushed ASAP!
Thank you! That is awesome! I appreciate it!

Ok so this is a bit of a bigger issue that I had thought. The problem is with how YouTube serve these files, I would assume the file streams this library is using are not intended for this purpose.
The solution could be related to my comment on annother issue...
Some YouTube videos require a signature to be sent with the stream request. The signature is provided as a scrambled cipher that needs to be decoded before it can be used. The cipher and decoding process is regularly changing so replicating and decoding within the package client side is not viable. Each time the process changes on YouTubes end, we'd need to reverse engineer the decode process and release an update to this package.
Essentially, I'm thinking we'd need to setup a man in the middle service. Unfortunatley, there is some extensive work to be done before this issue can be resolved.
@marcusx2 @drzewinski can you test the recent release 4.0.1, the examples here appear to be working in Safari
