Small snippet showing how to embed a YouTube video in a QWebView. This also demonstrates Qt support for flash. First create a Qt Gui Application using Qt Creator and add a QWebView to it.
Now add network and webkit support to your .pro file
QT += core gui network webkit
Now add this in your mainwindow.cpp file
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
, ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
QNetworkProxyFactory::setUseSystemConfiguration(true);
QWebSettings::globalSettings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
QWebSettings::globalSettings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::AutoLoadImages, true);
ui->webView->load(QUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aR27FLbb04"));
}
You should be able to load the webpage with the embedded video in it. You could also embed this video only in an object tag in a local html file and just point the url to this local file.
