I am loading videos(mp4) and Audio(mp3) files into a UIwebview.
It’s straight forward and works nicely

NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: videoURL cachePolicy: NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval: 30.0];  
[webView loadRequest: request];  
[request release];

Question:
How do I prevent the video / audio from autoplay ?
I want the video to pause and let the user click “play” assuming he wants to play it.

Thanks.

    Answering my own question

    using the following code will do the job

    NSString *videoHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"<html><head><style></style></head><body><video id='video_with_controls' height='438' width='672' controls autobuffer autoplay='false'><source src='%@' title='' poster='icon2.png' type='video/mp4' durationHint='durationofvideo'/></video><ul></body></html>",videoURL];

    webView.opaque = NO;
webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[webView loadHTMLString:videoHTML baseURL:nil];
