Video support

BlackBerry Access for iOS
devices supports many video formats.
YouTube
videos aren't supported because they are served with non-compliant tags that can't be replaced or rewritten by
BlackBerry Access
. You must open
YouTube
videos in a native browser instead.
BlackBerry Access for iOS
devices support the same video formats that
Apple
does, except for the following legacy formats: M2V, 3GP, and 3GP-2.
To securely play videos on web sites, the HTML5
<video>
tag with the
<source>
element's src attribute is required at the time the page is loaded in the browser. If
BlackBerry Access
can't detect a
<video>
tag, the video playback isn't secured. The following is a sample of the tags:
<video width="320" height="240" controls> <source src=“test.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src=“test.ogg" type="video/ogg"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
Web servers that serve videos must be configured for byte streaming so that
BlackBerry Access
can play them. The web server must support the HTTP header 206 Partial Content. Otherwise, videos are downloaded to the device, and the user must play them manually.
