If your platform supports the HTML5 audio/video tags then this is
surely a better option.

As for controlling the HTML5 player from your Qt/C++ env, it should be
fairly easy to do via QtWebkit Bridge. You can call the HTML5 players
JavaScript APIs from your native env and vice-versa.

Also not that Flashlite supports only upto ActionScript2 (not 3) and
YouTube has deprecated support for AS2 in their player. So, even
though the player will work with AS2 (they have not removed support
for it) some new features might no be available.
