Is it possible to interact with UIWebView without touching?

I am trying to interact with a loaded page in a UIWebView without touching the screen. I tried mediaplaybackrequiresuseraction without success. I also tried the method here , but apparently it does not work in ios 6. I am trying to load this url and get the player to start playing. Does anyone know how to make this work ios 6? Any help is appreciated.

MY CODE

 - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {


  int storyIndex = [indexPath indexAtPosition: [indexPath length] - 1];

  NSString * storyLink = [[stories objectAtIndex: storyIndex] objectForKey: @"link"];
  //storyLink is various form of http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1683318714001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAC59qSJk~,vyxcsD3OtBPHZ2UIrFX2-wdCLTYNyMNn&bclid=1644543007001&bctid=2238216269001 with different bctid=value

  NSURL *kitcoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:storyLink];
  NSURLRequest *requestURL = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:kitcoURL];
  [videoScreen setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
  [videoScreen setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction:NO];
  [videoScreen loadRequest:requestURL];

 }

// The method does not work in ios6

 - (UIButton *)findButtonInView:(UIView *)view {
UIButton *button = nil;

if ([view isMemberOfClass:[UIButton class]]) {
return (UIButton *)view;
}

if (view.subviews && [view.subviews count] > 0) {
for (UIView *subview in view.subviews) {
  button = [self findButtonInView:subview];
  if (button) return button;
}
}

return button;
}

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)_webView {
  UIButton *b = [self findButtonInView:_webView];
  [b sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
 }

EDIT // videoScreen is my UIWebView

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

NSString *urlString = @"http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1683318714001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAC59qSJk~,vyxcsD3OtBPHZ2UIrFX2-wdCLTYNyMNn&bclid=1644543007001&bctid=2238216269001";

NSError *error;
NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"bckey=([^&]*)" options:0 error:&error];
NSTextCheckingResult *match = [regex firstMatchInString:urlString options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, urlString.length)];
NSString *bckey = [urlString substringWithRange:[match rangeAtIndex:1]];

regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"bctid=([0-9]*)" options:0 error:&error];
match = [regex firstMatchInString:urlString options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, urlString.length)];
NSString *bctid = [urlString substringWithRange:[match rangeAtIndex:1]];

NSString *newUrlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/htmlFederated?&playerKey=%@&videoID=%@", bckey, bctid];

[videoScreen loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:newUrlString]]];

}

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
if (!webView.isLoading)
{
    [self checkForVideoReady];
}

}
 // Checking player object for ready. If it ready - starting video. Otherwise waiting 1 second 
- (void)checkForVideoReady
{
    if (![[videoScreen stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"player.ready"]   isEqualToString:@"true"])
    {
    [self performSelector:@selector(checkForVideoReady) withObject:nil afterDelay:1];
   }
   else
   {
        [videoScreen stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"player.videoPlayer.playButton.element.click();"];
   }
 }

    //Include above function to your page and call it by passing the urlstring
    //frame : this parameter needs the size of the thumb you want to use.
    [self videoThumb:url:frame];
}

Just call the videoThumb function, passing in the URL that you want to play and have just completed.
