what am I missing??
Yes. You can simply link to an MP4 video, and iOS will automatically play it in its QuickTime Player.
No need for any specific HTML page.
Note: Ascertain that your video is encoded properly http://www.google.com/search?q=site:apple.com+encode+video+iPhone

Is there a way to present youtube videos in app other than using webView, I've tried YoutubePlayer_in_WKWebView and hasn't been working. webView works but I just want the video to be displayed, not the whole page.
You would have to obtain the actual video file if you want just the video to display without the rest of the YouTube page. While officially it's unethical to rip videos from YT, unofficially it's not that hard.
I have created a PDF viewer on iphone. Currently my app is able to detect links to web pages and buttons for navigation within PDF.
But it unable to play Audio/Video contents embedded with PDF.
I creates custom PDf which has button(link to a local video file) to play video file. But iphone can't play the video. (when I tap on button, it says "NULL file ....")
I want to know is it possible to do? and if anyone have done it please give me a help. It will be a huge help for me.
No it is not possible to play a video inside a PDF,
if you cannot play the video on an iPhone, i would suggest to convert it to a file that the iPhone can play
You can do this by using PSPDFKit.
See documentation. Its best. :)

You do not technically need a "media player", just load a supported media URL into a UIWebView and it should play automatically. I would not recommend making this a habit, but its a quick solution.
i think your webpage contains <video> tag in it. That's why its not getting full screen.
try to play the video with video
You will surely get the full screen video
Here is my problem, I would like to play flash video in my iphone app.
I'm parsing XML file and I get flash video url like this : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xg8evw_electric-pursuit-english-version_auto
How can I do?
Thanks.
It looks like your video on the page is encoded as an H.264 MP4, so you can pull it in directly - http://vid.akm.dailymotion.com/video/693/662/27266396_mp4_h264_aac_hq_2.mp4?aksessionid=-1459231571_739074&akauth=1295628091_ff040ccd7dbe1834e6127da452a4069d (that's your video path)
I found it!
Dailymotion added a new feature which generates an iframe compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Android.
Go on video page,
Click on Embed button (under video)
Check the checkbox Enable iframe player compatible iPhone, iPad, Android ... (Beta)
I want to know if I could play a mp3 file or mp4 (video) file through an UIWebView by loading a simple url request. I have already tried sending the UIWebView to a video link (e.g. http://google.com/blah.mp4) but it will flash a quick QuickTime logo and show a black screen. However in MobileSafari it streams fine. Is there anyway to play a media file through an UIWebView??!
Thanks,
Kevin
Use the HTML5 <audio> tag.
