jQuery Cycle2 with Youtube videos - swipe or overlaying navigation not working in iOS

Question

I have a Youtube video slider using the jQuery Cycle2 plugin. My previous/next arrows are positioned to overlay the videos. And I'm using the jQuery Cycle2 swipe plugin to enable swipe events on touchscreen devices.

jsfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/tritterskamp/22cBg/17/

I'm running into two issues on iOS devices.

1. The swipe gesture does not seem to work.
2. Once a video has started playing, the arrows no longer work.

similar to the arrow issue: Overlay image over a you-tube video is not clickable on I-pod/ I-phone devices

Is the Cycle swipe functionality simply not compatible with Youtube videos?

Any insight would be helpful!

Thanks.

        autoHeight: 'container',
        pager: '> .pager-wrapper .cycle-pager',
        slides: '> .slide',
        swipe: true
    });
});
