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

One trick to get local content to show up in UIWebView is to use a substitution cache. Matt Gallagher has some sample code up on his blog.

Basically you assign an URL to the movie, say "http://www.example.com/movie.mp4", which you use in your HTML to refer to the movie. When the movie is loaded, instead of going to the URL, the substitution cache fetches the data locally.

AFAIK this works with all iOS versions.
