Description

Run the code below in app.js. The youtube video cannot be played inside the webview. Instead Ti.Platform.openURL has to be used.

Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000000');

var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    title:'Tab 1',
    backgroundColor:'#000000'
});

var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({url:'http://www.youtube.com/embed/US7xaxyFETI?rel=0'});

win1.add(webview);

//Ti.Platform.openURL('http://www.youtube.com/embed/US7xaxyFETI?rel=0'); // use this to play the video

win1.open();

Tested with HTC Evo 4G 2.3.3 and Nexus One 2.2.2 with SDK 1.8.0.1.v20111122105459. I couldn't get the video to load or play on either device. On startup, an image of the video appeared with a play button over. When the play button is pressed, the video never loads (the progress bar moves). Thoughts?? EDIT: I had the same issue with TIMOB-1607. The link to the video works fine in a browser.
