Notification after playing video in mobile safari

Question

I am trying to play some videos in UIWebView and to get feedback when the video is finished, without any user interaction. I am looking for something similar to MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification , but in a UIWebView . Appreciate if someone can share their work.

Answer 1

I cannot vouch for all types of videos, but when I play a YouTube video in UIWebView format, I can capture an event when the user clicks “Finish”, subscribing to the type of private notification:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerDidExitFullscreen:) name:@"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidExitFullscreenNotification" object:nil];

This works in iOS 4.3 and 5.0.
