video embedded on a link not working on UIWebview with iOS6 simulator or device

Question

does iOS 6 webview have an issue of presenting videos ? :(

my code is a simple call to webview's loadRequest method:

 self.webview.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[self.webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WEpUAQ7fa8"]]];

cosole says:

[MPAVController] Autoplay: Enabling autoplay
[MPAVController] Autoplay: Disabling autoplay for pause
[MPAVController] Autoplay: Disabling autoplay
[MPAVController] Autoplay: Ending background task assertion (8) for playback stall
[MPAVController] Autoplay: _streamLikelyToKeepUp: 0 -> 1
[MPAVController] Autoplay: Skipping autoplay, disabled (for current item: 1, on player: 1)

I referred to this answer but in vain.

please suggest an answer.

i have to use webview only, as I am going to use a web page with embedded video. — Nikita P, Jan 04 '13 at 10:06
@Nikita Have a look http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12399241/ios-uiwebview-not-working-due-to-parsing-error — DJB, Jan 04 '13 at 10:10
@Nikita youtube page is loading but for playing video you have click on play button in middle — DJB, Jan 04 '13 at 10:14
exactly, the page obviously opens. but when it tries to get into a full screen, it crashes, and i am left with a webview page with no use. — Nikita P, Jan 04 '13 at 10:19
@darshana: the link you gave also does not work. Infact I even tried with youtube.com/embed/xxxxxx. nothing works :( — Nikita P, Jan 04 '13 at 10:20
@darshana but i get the same error as Nikita has mentioned here — DD_, Jan 04 '13 at 10:21
@NikitaP same issue happens here too! Don't know how this worked with the other one! — DD_, Jan 04 '13 at 10:22
@darshana can you please list the frameworks in your project? — DD_, Jan 04 '13 at 10:25
@darshana i get the following crash report"Error getting audio input device sample rate: '!obj'" — DD_, Jan 04 '13 at 10:28
@Dpk Check whether in System Preferences "Sound" setting for input is set to something other than internal mic — DJB, Jan 04 '13 at 10:36
It's not sound, I can hear the sound of the video, even when the video is not playing (the full screen is crashing but the audio is being played) — Nikita P, Jan 04 '13 at 10:37
@darshana its "No Devices Found " there! i have upgraded my os few days ago, may be due to that — DD_, Jan 04 '13 at 10:41
Hey guys,do you people have QuickTime Player installed on your machines? — DJB, Jan 04 '13 at 10:44

Hi since you cannot use MPMoviePlayerController, you have to use Webview, instead of using

self.webview.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[self.webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WEpUAQ7fa8"]]];

Try this way to embed,
