Play local video file in UIwebview


I can't play local video file in UIWebview. Here is my code anything wrong? or Apple can't allow to play local video file in UIWebview.

NSString *webViewString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<!doctypehtml><html><head><title>SimpleMoviePlayer</title></head><body><videosrc=\"%@\">controls autoplay height=\"270\">
 width=\"1000\"></video></body></html>",pathOftheLocalFile];

UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frame+(i*20), 0, 300, height)];

webview.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = YES;
webview.delegate = self;
[webview loadHTMLString:webViewString baseURL:nil];
[previewScrollView addSubview:webview];

Solution

  • Try this :

    NSString* htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <title>test</title>
    <body>
    <div>
    <embed src="yourVideoName.mov" Pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/" width="90%"   height="166px" CONTROLLER="true" LOOP="false" AUTOPLAY="false" name="IBM Video"></embed>
    </div>
    </body></html>"];
    
    UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frame+(i*20), 0, 300,   height)];
    webview.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = YES;
    webview.delegate = self;
    [webview loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleURL]];
    [previewScrollView addSubview:webview];
