Youtube video crashes iOS web app added to homescreen

I'm having a problem playing a Youtube video on my iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2 (had problem prior to this iOS version too, but it worked a few months ago).
It plays fine if I open the app in the phone's browser, but if I "Add to Homescreen " then launch the app from the icon, the video will not play (the whirligig spins and eventually times out to a gray play button, if you try to navigate to another page the webapp crashes).
I can duplicate this from a fresh app. Can you duplicate this problem?

Same problem on an iPad 3 running iOS 8.1.1
Works in safari but hangs/crashes upon playing youtube video once app is added to home screen and launched from icon.

Hi Gregory,
We will need some time to test this on a device.

Suggestions for a workaround (such as a modification after exporting) would be helpful.

Hello!
Looks like auto-play option doesn't work, but video loads and plays on play button click.
Unfortunately we couldn't find workaround, waiting for bug fix.
