How can I embed Youku or Tudou videos in my iOS app?

Question

Or open them in a UIWebView? Their videos are in .swf format though.

Thank you.

EDIT: Okay, so I can get it to play in UIWebView, also when you click on the video in the UIWebView it will play the video in fullscreen. So am wondering if I can just get the code of when it clicks to fullscreen, and use it in some button I have.

Did that make sense?

Oh and thank you again.

Answer 1

Try embed the iframe snippet from Youku into your webview

<iframe height="498" width="510" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen
 src="http://player.youku.com/embed/XNTY4ODU0NzQ0"></iframe>

I got it working on Android, but not tried it on iOS yet.

Answer 2

<video width="480" height="320"
 src="http://v.youku.com/player/getRealM3U8/vid/XMzkxMTM3MDQw/type//video.m3u8"
 controls>
    <embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMzkxMTM3MDQw/v.swf"
     allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="320"
     align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always"
     type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</video>

Just use the above HTML in a UIWebView for Youku. It can be played on iOS device and PC. Replace the XMzkxMTM3MDQw with the corresponding code of the video.
