Retrieving Youtube video metadata - gdata iphone objective C

[Frankee]

I know the answer is right under my nose but i've spent the better
half of this weekend looking for it and I can not find the information
in the google / youtube provided documentation.

I am currently developing an application that grabs a list of videos
associated with a youtube user. Once it gets the list of videos, I am
trying to incorporate a UIWebView to launch the video inside the
application without leaving it.

I am basically using option two from this website...

http://apiblog.youtube.com/2009/02/youtube-apis-iphone-cool-mobile-apps.html

Now I have everything working fine (thanks to the examples provided by
google / youtube) except I am retrieving the HTML link for the video
and putting into the HTML load string, which doesn't work.

I have manually gone and entered the metadata into my program and it
works fine.

So the only thing stopping me is I am not retrieving the video
metadata properly from the entry...

I am currently doing this from the UITableView...

GDataEntryBase *entry = [[feed entries] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *videoLink = [[entry HTMLLink] href];

Can someone please point me in the right direction to grab the
metadata.
It would be very much appreciated!

Thank you.

The mediaContent element for the swf URL has the yt:format attribute with the value 5, according to

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#youtube_data_api_tag_media:content

so given a video entry (GDataEntryYouTubeVideo), the URL is available as

  GDataYouTubeMediaGroup *mediaGroup = [videoEntry mediaGroup];

  GDataMediaContent *mediaContent = [mediaGroup mediaContentWithFormatNumber:5];

  NSString *urlString = [mediaContent URLString];

  if (urlString) {

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

  }
