How should I make my mobile website support video playing in iphone, android?

Question

I want to develop a mobile version of my website, in which I need to embed youtube video/ upload my own flv file and play it in my website, How should I implement this? Should I develop an Flash player by myself? How can I make iPhone play my flv files/Youtube ?

Thanks in advance!

Some answers here might help and the first answer claims it works in iphone as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1711078/html5-video-element-on-android — AaronLS, Nov 14 '12 at 04:20

You can upload your videos on youtube and add them to your website using iframe:

<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID"
   width="yourwidth" height="yourheight"></iframe>

It will automatically switch to the HTML5 player if the device doesn't support flash.

Is it possible for me to play it directly in my website with flash/html5? – MemoryLeak Nov 14 '12 at 04:23
Yes, if you access your website from a device which doesn't support flash, it will show HTML5 player. – Aniruddh Nov 14 '12 at 04:28
If I don't want to use youtube, then is there any other solutions? – MemoryLeak Nov 14 '12 at 05:52
Well, if you really want to support FLV video playback on non-flash devices, YouTube is the only option I can see. – Aniruddh Nov 14 '12 at 06:08
