   MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
   if (moviePlayer)

YouTube videos can't be played directly in MPMoviePlayerController. You'll have to launch the YouTube app or create a UIWebView to show the video. See the following question:

NSString *youTubeVideoHTML = @"<html><head>\
<body style=\"margin:0\">\
<embed id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \
width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\"></embed>\
</body></html>";

NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:youTubeVideoHTML, youtube video link, self.webView.frame.size.width, self.webView.frame.size.height];
NSLog(@"html %@",html);
[self.webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
