Embed video in html file loaded in UIWebView from Documents folder of application

Question

I have an html file named videoplay.html with following content

Answer 1

After lots of struggling and R&D I found that,

Under Simulator 3.2 and on device with iOS 4.3.3 version, using following code it is working if HTML and Video files are at the same location.

NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir =[documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pathOfHTmlFile = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"videoplay.html"];
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:pathOfHTmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

documentsDir = [documentsDir stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];
documentsDir = [documentsDir stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];

NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//", documentsDir]];

NSLog(@"Baseurl--->%@",baseURL);
[self.webView loadHTMLString:content baseURL:baseURL];

Still under Simulator 4.2 it does not work. Instead of video it shows black portion. Yet unable to find the solution for Simulator 4.2 but it works on device so I guess code is absolutely fine.

Posting this as answer so that if any one doing the same may be useful.
