Question:

I had to embed a YouTube video in one of my windows 8 xaml apps. I added an iframe in a webView like <a href="http://silverspoted.blogspot.com/2012/12/to-embed-youtube-videos-in-windows-8.html" rel="nofollow">this</a>. Now my problem is that when I navigate away from the page the YouTube video continues to play. Since the page in which the WebView is not present in the current view after navigation, I am not able to access the iframe as well. Is there a way to stop the video somehow once I navigate away from the page?

Thanks and Regards, Ramya

Do you want to pause the video (and cache the page) so they can come back to where they were?

If not, then a less than elegant (but effective) option:

<blockquote> protected override void OnNavigatingFrom(NavigatingCancelEventArgs e) { base.OnNavigatingFrom(e); wv.NavigateToString(""); } </blockquote>

If you want to pause the video, I believe you should be able to accomplish that goal by including some JavaScript in the YouTube IFrame API in combination with <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.page.onnavigatingfrom.aspx" rel="nofollow">OnNavigatingFrom</a> and a call to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.webview.invokescript.aspx" rel="nofollow">InvokeScript</a>.
