360 YouTube video support #16

As a VR environment option it'd be cool to have 360 YouTube videos supported so that at the press of a button the user would begin watching a spherical video. Autoplaying on mobiles is a thorny topic, but the newest version of google cardboard gets round this with a button/lever that has conductive foam to 'tap' the screen.

Example 360 Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RPurvYriHI

After a quick look through the YouTube API documentation it's not immediately clear whether this is possible at the moment. I'm removing the milestone until I can predict when this might be doable. I've posted a question on SO in the meantime.
