@ Bill (Prothero): Yes, that was my next approach, (embed iFrame) but I was interested in the tech behind the current behavior in web browsers on mobile… somehow they throw control of the video player to some other framework… where the "Done" and controller appears at the top momentarily.. then it disappears until the user taps anywhere on the video, then you drop back to the browser… kind of like a "go recent" behavior
Assuming that's not an option in LC/Browser widget. (why would it not be?) Then, yes if we want control we could do the embed iFrame thing… (we are already using this on our web site inside revIgniter views) e.g. http://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/history-of-hindu-india_part-3 but if we don't want the entire wrapper I'll have to start wrapping my head around displaying html(5) locally (html stored on the mobile device itself) OR create a simple API on the server and ping that with the youTube ID from the app and *then* have the server return the page with the embed + our "proprietary" JS to send a "go recent card" to LC. Just seems like a big hack to me…to accomplish a simple "get me out of here" UX requirement in LC.
