How to embed video content from news site to iOS App? - ios

I want to show news sites video content in my App. Either in an embedded via UIWebView or to open Safari an preload video, start to show it from a certain second. How can I do it? What is the basic concept?
The video url is here: http://www.atv.hu/videok/video-20141102-havas-a-palyan-1-resz-2014-11-01
And I want to show the content from 22:19 to 23:09. How can I do it? Do I violate any copyright law?
Site use a flow player lightweight technology to stream data.

youtube live chat show only on desktop - on mobile see nothing

I used the following iframe to embed youtube live chat:
If you try to see the embeded chat you see regurarly on desktop version:
https://visionforex.info/market-news/
If you try to see it on mobile I only see a blank space.
My question is: is it possible to show youtube live chat on mobile ?
Are there any limit? I have seen on internet that youtube don't allow live chat on mobile if you don't have an ADSense account. We have a Google ADS account on the web site.
Any suggestion is very appreciated!
Many thanks in advance
Marzio
I tried to put the iframe directly into the page and not into widget but nothing changed.
I followed all suggestion find out on stack overflow without success.
It says YouTube Chat embed is not possible on Mobile, only on Desktop browsers:
Note: embedding live chat isn't available on mobile web.
During a live stream, you can embed live chat on your own site by
using an iframe.
Get the video ID for the live stream. You can get the video ID from the watch page URL (youtube.com/watch?v=12345). In this case, the video ID is ‘12345’. If you chose "Stream now," right-click on the player and select Copy video URL to get the video URL.
Get the domain URL for the site you want to embed chat on. If you're embedding chat on www.example.com/youtube_chat, your embedding domain is "www.example.com."
Combine the embedded URL in the following way: https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=12345&embed_domain=www.example.com
This is the URL for your iframe. Note the embed_domain must match the URL of the page you’re embedding the chat on. If they are different, the embedded chat will not load.

Custom Flash Video Player convert experience to HTML5?

I have a custom built flash (.swf) video player that is connected to an api where videos are tagged so users can bookmark elements of the video and these bookmarks have links to external sites. Is there anyway to convert the flash player to function as it was designed to HTML5 so it is compatible across all devices? I know this is a long shot, but the company that designed this player designed it for the web and has a native app that mobile users must download to view the tagged up video. Obviously this situation is less than ideal. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

JavaFX project play youtube videos

I work on an automatically music player. To be short, i use the Last.fm api to get a lot of tracks names and tags. Using these tags and some intelligence computing algorithms, once you play a track, the player sets another track (with tags very appropriate to the tags of the track listened before).
I used the youtube API to search for the URL's of the movies, and I managed to make it work. Now I want to make the videos play on my music player. I have tried to place the youtube player on WebView. It works, but not as intended. I want to control that player. I want it to start playing automatically, and I want to get noticed when the video ended so I can start the next one.
Any clues of what should I do to play the videos from youtube based on the search that uses the Youtube API, and to have control over the youtube player that I place on my GUI(make it play and stop from command line)? Or is there any possible way do download the youtube movie and play it using the JavaFX API? I searched google and noticed I cannot download youtube movie into a format that can be played by JavaFX api.
Update Dec 4th, 2015
Some versions of JavaFX 8 are unable to play back youtube video content. Currently, for instance, Java 8u66 cannot playback youtube video content, but Java 8u72 early access release can.
Also note some of the videos referenced in the sample solution are no longer available or are protected from play in embedded video players. So ensure that you perform any tests using available and videos that have not been distribution restricted. Refer to the youtube documentation for information on distribution restriction if need be.
Any clues of what should I do to play the videos from youtube
As a hints to get you started, see code playing YouTube videos in JavaFX and the YouTube HTML5 api.
Here is the sample code I linked running and playing YouTube videos back within a JavaFX WebView with some (very minimal) control over the video playback via interaction with a JavaFX "New Song" button.
Or is there any possible way do download the youtube movie and play it using the JavaFX API? I searched google and noticed I cannot download youtube movie into a format that can be played by JavaFX api.
I think such a usage would violate YouTube's terms of service. I believe YouTube requires you to play the video back using the YouTube video player (let's them insert ads in the video player etc).
5.1 A
you agree not to distribute any part of or parts of the Website or the
Service, including but not limited to any Content, in any medium
without YouTube's prior written authorisation, unless YouTube makes
available the means for such distribution through functionality
offered by the Service (such as the YouTube Player);
5.1 C
you agree not to access Content through any technology
or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself,
the YouTube Player, or such other means as YouTube may explicitly
designate for this purpose;
I advanced little, but I got stuck to other problems.
First of all, the code from jewelsea was great. Now I could embed the player into a secondary window of my player and it shows the movie based on the URL that i got using the youtube api. But it looks like JavaFX cannot show most of the movies. It shows me the youtube player and an error message saying that I need to install latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. From my research, I noticed that the webView can only show movies with quality set at 240p, not higher.
I have searched a lot on Google how to make my webView to play the 240p quality video. First of all, i tried to set the youtube query parameters (https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_api_query_parameters#formatsp). I tried all the parameters from there: 1,5 and 6. But yet, I did not get the URL of movie with format that can be viewed on the webView of the JavaFX.
I also tried to embed the video quality in the URL of the movie like this:
http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2YZlLhjKs&vq=small:240p ; but it does not work at all. I also wrote that URL in the browser and it looks like the youtube automatically sets the video to the highest quality, no matter what parameter I write in the URL.
The youtube api code that I used is the same like in this webpage: http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/05/getting-started-with-youtube-java-api.html
I just moved the main class code to a method that returns the URL of the first video that is in the list, and I changed the " query.setOrderBy(YouTubeQuery.OrderBy.VIEW_COUNT); "
to " query.setOrderBy(YouTubeQuery.OrderBy.RELEVANCE);". And this works fine, it shows the url to proper music videos that I search.
I am sorry for not showing the code of my project but it is big and it contains 2-3 api keys, and if you tell me how to change the video URL http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2YZlLhjKs to work on the code from this website: https:/gist.github.com/jewelsea/1437374 , then I will know that to do to make it work on my project as well;
And the thing about YouTube playback API also enlightened me. I see that API has a lot of functions that could help me to play a lot easier with the video content (make it play, make it stop) but the problem is that I do not have knowledge about javascript programming and it is very sad that I do not have those methods in Java API as well. Maybe I will give it a try and insert javascript code into my webview. But, if I edit the webview using javascript... Is it going to play higher quality movies on the JavaFX webView?

How does YouTube web start a video playback automatically on mobile Safari without a user's action?

YouTube web version can always play a video automatically on mobile Safari without a user's explicit action to the HTML video element. How does YouTube do this?
YouTube's actually done something quite tricky, if you click a video related to the current one or in the search, it doesn't actually load another page, it uses JavaScript to update the page to look like a different one, and then uses that same click handler to start the video, so the system thinks that it was user initiated. That's why if you enter the URL for a video straight into the address bar when not in YouTube it doesn't auto-start...

Embed Youtube videos in Metro style application

I am writing application to show youtube videos.
In WPF on windows 7 I use WebBrowser control and it works fine. But when I use WinRT WebView control to show swf file from youtube - it doesn't work. Only clear white screen.
I use approach like that : http://blog.tedd.no/2010/06/27/embedding-youtube-in-wpf-webbrowser-control/
What shall I do to have an oppotunity to show videos in Metro Style Application?
Thank you
try this one from the mytoolkit library: http://mytoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=YouTube
The default youtube video player (unless the user has opted into the HTML5 preview) is a Flash video control. Flash is not supported in the Windows Application Store ("Metro") shell version of IE, or in the WebView control.
But what you can do is request youtube to use the HTML5 video player (HTML5 video is supported by the App Store version of IE and WebView). For example, this video does play properly for me:
<WebView Source="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True" />
So you should be able to embed a video using a webview, you just have to force the webview to use the HTML5 viewer. This can also be done as a parameter to the embed URL: see Force HTML5 youtube video
However, this setting only says to prefer the HTML5 player. Youtube may still attempt to use the flash player on some videos, which will not work in all cases.
You can alternatively also play the video through "mediaelement" to play youtube video, though you'd have to parse the youtube video stream first. See my W8 app "RedditTV"
