Hi I have a webview and when i tried to load the video files in that , it starts playing the video automatically without user intervention. And also the play button is still displayed in webview (video is playing behind that). I am using the following code to load the URL
NSURL* url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSURLRequest* request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
Can you tell me how to disable the play button OR the Video should start playing only after the user taps the play button ??
- (void)videoThumb:(NSString *)urlString frame:(CGRect)frame {
NSString *embedHTML = @"\
<html><head>\
<style type=\"text/css\">\
body {\
background-color: transparent;
color: white;
}\
</style>\
</head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
<embed id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \
width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\"></embed>\
</body></html>";
NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, urlString, frame.size.width,frame.size.height];
[webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
}
//Include above function to your page and call it by passing the urlstring
[self videoThumb:url:frame];
//frame : this parameter needs the size of the thumb you want to use.
I hope this may help you and better way for your purpose.
