I am trying to figure out how to play videos related to app content. I would love to popup an embedded video but given the lack of support for flash(android 4+) and html5 (youtube) I assume I am limited to a good old fashioned link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx...
However, do this in app is not working either. Youtube link destination does not play video (only sound) on my nexus 7(4.2.2). Link does not ask me to use youtube or other video player (including installed youtube app). When I get to the link, it is very difficult to get back (multiple quick back button clicks on device).
The link seems unworkable. Is there a better way to format youtube links, or embed them to work with newer ios and android? Incidentally, given that we are working in an app, the following of a link leaves the app experience and introduces confusion right?
