Re: Play a youtube video in webworks application using html and javscript

The mobile youtube site uses rtsp. And in webworks we wont able to play an rtsp video within the application but possible to push it to the browser and showing it.  In BBOS7 you can play http video within the application.

Re: Play a youtube video in webworks application using html and javscript

Here is a working example of how to embed a YouTube video in a WebWorks application:

 

http://blackberry.github.com/WebWorks-Samples/kitchenSink/html/browser/flashplayer.html

 

Here is the snippet being used to display this video:

 

<object width="640" height="385" style="border: dotted 1px black">

	<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eAaez_4m9mQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param>

	<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>

	<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eAaez_4m9mQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed>

</object>

 

 

Reminder: you need to properly whitelist any external domains you will be accessing in your config.xml document.

I would shuggest to use this one in the config.xml

 

<access subdomains="true" uri="*" />

since the video URL of youtube may be somehow different if you only use

 

<access subdomains="true" uri="http://www.youtube.com" />

but you may also give this a try. BTW: documentation for the access tag is here for some further reading.

Re: Play a youtube video in webworks application using html and javscript

Nothing seem to be working on BB10 webworks. Tried both <object as well as <iframe embed codes. I do have all urls allowed in config xml.

 

Suggestions?

Hi.

 

Make sure you are adding the right feature-tag to your config.xml like described in the documentation:

 

<feature id="enable-flash">
