As far as I know Google does not allow on YouTube License Agreement anyone to play videos in 3rd party players, you can use their API to browse the content, but you will need to call YouTube channel using deep link feature.

You could use the External control guide

https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/External+Control+Guide

You can launch videos by sending a POST command to the Roku, eg.

    conn = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer")
    url = "http://localhost:8060/launch/837?contentID=VIDEOID"
    conn.SetUrl(url)
    conn.SetRequest("POST")
    data = conn.GetToString()

Good luck!
