Iphone SDK and youtube entries #25

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am building an iPhone app to display & play youtube videos using the 
UIWebView class, I was 
under the assumption that the iPhone framework uses the media type of 
'application/x-
shockwave-flash' format "5"  to decide how to videos it can display.  This 
seems to be incorrect, 
looks like the apple plugin actually searches for one of the other types of 
format "1" & "6" and 
uses that for display.  I tried to display a video that only supported format 5 
and the UIWebView 
marked that entry as disabled, cannot play.

I have attached the xml for the entries that successfully showed in UIWebView 
and another that 
failed.

While i know this is not an issue with this Library but rather apple's 
framework, I did not know of 
any other forum to present this information and figure it may be useful to other

I got this results by searching for the term "DJ Drama interviews Big Block".  
In fact if you perform 
that search from iPhone you see that the problem entry is never returned under 
the search 
results, this is the behavior whether the search is done from the you tube app 
or safari on the 
iphone.

I've added a comment about playback formats to the Obj-C YouTube headers. 
Thanks for
raising the issue.
