Embedding YouTube videos on

Solution 1:

Just tested your code, it works fine on an iPhone, Youtube videos are not supported on the iOS simulator though, so you'll need a real device for testing.

How can I position this box?

You are already passing the X (20), Y(20), width(100) and height(100) of the box at this line:

[self embedYouTube:@"http://..." frame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 100, 100)];

To change the position of the view afterwards, you modify its center property:

videoView.center = CGPointMake(200, 100 );

Here is the sample code, its working fine on iOS 5 and later, this is the new implementation which Youtube API provided, myWeb is a UIWebView here. showinfo=0 in URL will remove the top header in the videoView.

NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text/html\" width=\"%f\" height=\"%f\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/q1091sWVCMI?HD=1;rel=0;showinfo=0\" allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\" rel=nofollow></iframe></body></html>",frame.size.width,frame.size.height];
[myWeb loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];

Hope this helps you :)

Here's a version that works in iOS 6 and with the new YouTube embed code:

- (void)embedYouTube:(NSString *)urlString frame:(CGRect)frame {
    NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><head><style type='text/css'>body {background-color: transparent;color: white;}</style></head><body style='margin:0'><iframe width='%f' height='%f' src='%@' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe></body></html>", frame.size.width, frame.size.height, urlString];
    UIWebView *videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
    [videoView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
    [self.view addSubview:videoView];
}
