Embed YouTube Video in QWebView

Small snippet showing how to embed a YouTube video in a "QWebView":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.0/qtwebkit/qwebview.html. This also demonstrates Qt support for flash.
First create a Qt Gui Application using Qt Creator and add a QWebView to it.

Now add network and webkit support to your .pro file

<br />QT += core gui network webkit<br />

Now add this in your mainwindow.cpp file

<br />MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :<br /> QMainWindow(parent),<br /> ui(new Ui::MainWindow)<br />{<br /> ui-&gt;setupUi(this);<br /> QNetworkProxyFactory::setUseSystemConfiguration (true);<br /> QWebSettings::globalSettings()<s>&gt;setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);<br /> QWebSettings::globalSettings()</s>&gt;setAttribute(QWebSettings::AutoLoadImages, true);<br /> ui-&gt;webView-&gt;load(QUrl(&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aR27FLbb04&amp;quot;));<br />}<br />

You should be able to load the webpage with the embedded video in it.
You could also embed this video only in an object tag in a local html file and just point the url to this local file.
