Play facebook video in ios app

Question

I want to embed a Facebook video in my application. I get video links from a web service. For instance:

"video_url": "https://www.facebook.com/urdutimes.ca/videos/520665921438799/"

Can I embed this video in my own iOS application using Objective-C?

Thanks in advance

Try the following:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.facebook.com/urdutimes.ca/videos/520665921438799/"];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp];
