I think I remember seeing that 5.8 (or was it 5.9?) WebView supports DRM codecs so you could make a player for almost any site. There was some hinting that you'd have to copy some DLLs over for one of them though.

Subject: [Interest] What's the best way to play youtube videos? (android/iOs/windows)

Hi,
 

I would like to play youtube videos directly in my application. Has someone already done that and can give me some tips on how to accomplish that?
 

I already tried to use QML's MediaPlayer with the mp4 URL (extracted with the Youtube API) as source, but unfortunately that doesn't work.

Another possibility would probably be to use the WebView and play the video in fullscreen mode, but I am not sure if that works on all platforms and if I can also embed the video in other QML components that way (haven't tested it yet).
 

What do you guys recommend?
 

Thanks,

Bernhard
