I’m trying to launch a webview that will play a youtube video full screen

  • 0

I’m trying to launch a webview that will play a youtube video full screen and landscape.
Most of the other posts on this are buggy and clunky, is there a simple and clean way I can implement this or do I have to use something like MPMoviePlayerController to get this effect?

Thanks!

    The best way to display videos in UIWebViews are HTML5 video tags. YouTube uses iframes to embed their HTML5 videos:

    <iframe 
  class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" 
  src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0">
</iframe>

    I don’t have real experience in the forced orientation issue, so I skip this part.
