Problem with my UIWebView

[NSpehler]

Hi guys !
I'm new on this forum, and I'm from France so sorry for my bad english

I've got a problem with a Tab Bar application. There is a WebView linked to a YouTube page in one of the tab. It works just fine but the problem is that when I watch a video from YouTube, my video don't allow landscape and stay in portrait mode even if I turn my device.

Here is my code :

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
	NSLog(@"Here we call the web page load request in the awakeFromNib method.");
	[webpage loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://youtube.com/user/username"]]];
    timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:(1.0/2.0) target:self selector:@selector(tick) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate !

Mon francais n'est pas bon. Et j'etude francais cinq ans dans l'ecole. Je voudrais parler francais tres bein.

Anyway, je pense the problem is basically YouTube in a WebView than your code.

Did you create the UI in Interface Builder, and when you attached the UIWebView did you say that it can rotate. I mean both the UIView and the UIWebView?

Is it just the video in the UIWebView? If so, are you using the standard embedded code for playing YouTube videos from the tutorials that are out there? Or is it a whole page where one element on the page is the video?

Hi Mark, thank you for replying !
Actually, my UIWebView only include a link to the iPhone mobile version of YouTube.
So I only have the link to the YouTube Userpage but I don't have any standard embedded code for playing YouTube video. Should I do that ? And how... ?
As you said, it is a whole page where one element on the page is a video.

I guess I need to allow rotation on my UIWebView, but I don't know how to do that...

Thank You !

I apologize, it has been a long time since I been to the forums. Worked the past 4 weeks straight.

Here is the link to a blog post on embedded YouTube code to a UIWebView.

Display YouTube Videos Without Exiting Your Application

Unfortunately that is the only approach to take if you want the video to play inside your app.
