Youtube, UIWebView and Overlay Controls

YoryoBass · 01-22-2011, 10:50 AM

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

This is my source code... Shows the video ok, but when I tap the screen, th emovie controls don't appear

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];
	
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
