iPhone : How to play local video in WebView?

I want to play video in UIWebView. This video is stored in my app (It is local video not coming from server).

I dont want to use MPMoviePlayerController.

I got the following code from SO : 

NSString *url = @"http://my_url.com/my_movie_path/";
UIWebView* tempAudioPlayer = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)]; 
[tempAudioPlayer loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<iframe frameborder=\"0\"    width=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"%@\"></iframe>", url] baseURL:nil];
[self addSubview:tempAudioPlayer];

But Its not working for me.

Is there any other method to play video without MPMoviePlayerController?

What should I do ?

NSString *Str = @"<video controls> <source src=\"yourvideofile.mp4\"> </video>";
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"yourvideofile" ofType:@"mp4"];
[Webview loadHTMLString:Str baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
