Hi everybody
I've been looking at this forum, but I have not found an answer to
this problem.
I managed to perfectly reproduce a YouTube video embedded in a
UIWebView. The video and audio work perfectly, but would need to
present the playback controls to get out the video at any time, or to
pause.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

For sure, this is my source code:
// Create the video preview frame inside the alertView
UIWebView *videoView;
CGRect videoFrame = CGRectMake(70, 120, 142, 129);
videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:videoFrame];
[alertView addSubview:videoView];
// Create the html to embed in the alertView
NSString *embedHTML = @"\
<html><head>\
<style type=\"text/css\">\
body {\
background-color: transparent;\
color: white;\
}\
</style>\
</head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
<embed id=\"youtubeVideo\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-
flash\" \
width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\"></embed>\
</body></html>";
NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, @"http://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9wSPssze5g", 142.0, 129.5];
[videoView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
------------------------------------------
With the code above, the video plays with no problem, but when I tap
the screen nothing occurs. When the video is finished, it closes and
we retutn to the app.
But with this one:
// Create the video preview frame inside the alertView
UIWebView *videoView;
CGRect videoFrame = CGRectMake(70, 120, 142, 129);
videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:videoFrame];
[alertView addSubview:videoView];
// Create the preview
NSString *videoURLStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://
www.youtube.com/embed/%@?autoplay=0", @"M9wSPssze5g"];
NSURL* videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:videoURLStr];
[videoView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:videoURL]];
I can get the controls to pause the video but when it stops nothing
occurs...
Curious...

Hi Lee,
iPhone doesn't support video playback outside of QuickTime (where you
can on iPad) so perhaps you could use some native video object for
that... but i have no skills in native dev so i can't help more.

For sure, and I will try tomorrow. But if someone of you have a
functional example it will be great :)
