Hey all. This is kind of a double-posting, as it was a question I asked in a somewhat unrelated thread. So, I decided to start a new thread for it instead.

One thing I've come across recently is trying to properly integrate video with a mobile site. We're having major issues with trying to get some videos working.

This could just be down to the incorrect framerate or resolutions being used.

Would it be possible, when testing a device in Ta-Da, to display the actual settings used for that video/audio that you're viewing?

For example, if I'm viewing a test for an MP4 video, would it not be a good idea to display the attributes for that video? By attributes, I mean information such as the bitrate, framerate, resolution, video encoding and audio encoding.

This could help developers to encode videos that are known to work according to the data found from DeviceAtlas.

Just a suggestion, but your thoughts?

That's not a bad idea at all - I'm a little embarrassed we never thought about it when adding the tests :D
We do highlight a good bit of detail for the properties on the DA Properties page, but you're right, it would be handy to have the added detail readily available.

I'll look into adding them for you.

Awesome. I really think that would go a long way to helping developers with getting the video right :)

Thanks, Daniel.
