Google Play Books enhanced with video not working

I am developing an enhanced ebook for Google Play Books in fixed layout epub. I am using Adobe Indesign to develop this ebook. I am having great difficulty adding videos in my ebook. I have exhausted all possible options to embed the video. I have tried HTML5 video tag as suggested by the official Google support. I have tried to embed youtube video using an iframe but no luck.
When I upload my ebook to GPB it doesn't display any video in case of HTML5 and in case of iframes iframe takes some real estate but shows up blank. The iframe however does show on web version of the app and videos stream alright.
How can I embed videos successfully in my ebook? either HTML5 or iframe will do for me.

.flv (Flash videos) requires Flash player to play. WebView of WinRT doesn't has Flash support. So you are out of luck. Better to go for MP4 or WMV v

Youtube video won't load into webView

But when I try this link. It's the same video but the link is a little bit different. It won't work. Any idea what the problem can be?

Kind regards.
You are linking to a flash file. IOS wont play flash. the /v/id path links to a swf for clarification, while the watch link is something IOS might have a handler for to accept standard youtube links but play them in the youtube app. What you really want is a straight url to a mp4 file / h264 which ios will happily play in it's media controls. Youtube will not give you this because the video isn't branded, the branding is an overlay of their flash / html5 player. Your best bet is to use the actual youtube javascript api to embed a html5 player, or at least something compatible with IOS. Or just link to an address IOS has a registered handler for.
