Try this

var media_url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RRGA25bEPU';
 
var movie= '<html><head></head><body style="margin:0"> <embed id="yt" src="'+media_url+'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="200"></embed> </body></html>';
 
var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({
  // title:'Videos'+index,
   html: movie,
   height:450,
   width:600,
   top:25,
   left:90
});
 
win.add(webview);
