I am new to iPhone development. I have a URL of a site.
On clicking the "visit itunes" button on page, the itunes for that particular site is opened in my Mac iTunes.
I am able to see the videos in iTunes. How can I implement this in my iPhone so that i can see the video in my iPhone?
Thanks.
You need Media Player Framework. If you use MPMoviePlayerController you can use initWithContentURL to show video from a URL.

To be more descriptive, I do NOT want to link to particular song, or album as affiliation links. But only want to link to open the iTunes app with featured music section as open. Just like it is linked in iPhone's native music player application.
You want to send the user to the following URL - this will open the music store to the Featured tab.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/store
FWIW - this link works on both the desktop and mobile.
I'm developing an app were I would like to get youtube video url into my app from youtube app in IPhone. Whenever user clicks on video in youtube app that video's link should be directly retrieved into my app. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks
You can not get the data from some other app to your app...IOS doesnot allow it. All apps has their own separate documents directories. Only Media Files/contacts in phone are accessible.
Read this you might get some idea : Is it possible to access data across 2 different iOS apps?
Just using a link to a youtube video in an e-blast, works fine in any email client, but iOS won't open video. It opens youtube app and says 'can't open video' simple as that.
Anyone with experience in this?
I'm assuming you can't do any if/then being that you'll screw up some other email client.
If the video is disabled for playback on mobile devices (on the youtube video settings), this would happen.
The default Photos app in iPhone supports AirPlay for both Photos and Videos. But, Apple has given API for setting allowsAirPlay only in MPMoviePlayerController i.e only for videos. If I support it only for Videos user will complain for not supporting it for photos. How do I support AirPlay for both Photos and Videos in my app? Is there any method/interface/framework available that supports AirPlay and I have to just call it when the user clicks on my custom button?
Thanks and Regards,

Sorry, iPhone SDK 4.3 provides no API for sending photos via AirPlay.
I would like to enable users to as simply as possible go to a certain music album in the iTunes music store (not the app store). Is it possible to create such a direct link that opens iTunes music store with particular music album or song? You can see such behavior in Shazam.
