I'm new to iPhone development and have been trying to get a local video to play in the UIWebView. I load the UIWebView through the loadHTMLString method and the video url is file://...documents/uploads/../ax.mp4. The application crashes when I hit the play button of the video player in the webview. The video file is downloaded by the application from my http server, into the documents folder. If I give the path the file on the server, it plays properly.
This is the HTML snippet within the body tag, which I load in the webview:
<div style=\"float:left;margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;\">
<embed qtsrc=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-mp4\" qtsrcdontusebrowser=\"true\" id=\"video\" src=\"%@\" ></embed>
</div>
I also tried with the HTML5 video tag, snippet of it is below:
<div style=\"float:left;margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;\">
<video id = \"video\" align=\"left\" src=\"%@\" controls=\"controls\">your browser does not support the video tag</video>
</div>
The crash report has this for the thread which crashed :

and the message shown on the console (found it in the .crash file) is this:
13/05/11 7:13:57 PM SpringBoard[1034] Error deserializing wallpaper image: Error Domain=CPBitmapErrorDomain Code=0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CPBitmapErrorDomain error 0 - No data provided to CPBitmapCreateImagesFromData)" UserInfo=0x70d16d0 {NSDescription=No data provided to CPBitmapCreateImagesFromData}
I searched for this error in the threads over last five months, but haven't found anything useful. Am I missing something here? can anybody help on this? Also, when it crashes I see that atleast 20 threads, majority from com.apple.coremedia, running? Is this because I'm doing it in the wrong way?
