The new IE9 for Mobile has new HTML5 features enabled to support HTML5 video playback. HTML5 video is one of the most visible and easily adoptable features of the HTML5 standard. It is even more important on smartphones, because there isn’t another standard for delivering video that works across all major mobile browsers, making HTML5 video the only interoperable way to embed video on web pages.
The new Windows Phone Mango platform release, Microsoft adding support for the HTML5 <video> tag to IE9 Mobile browser in a way that is standards-compliant, hardware-accelerated, and optimized for a mobile viewing experience. This will brings you all of the features that IE desktop users already benefit from.
According to official Windows Phone developer blog, "When you see a HTML5 video thumbnail such as the one above on IE9 mobile, simply tap on it and the media player will start the playback in full screen mode. To exit the video, just press the “back” button or wait for the video to end and you’ll be returned to the web page that hosts the video".
YouTube is already taking advantage of this support as they rolled out a new mobile site tailored for the Mango browser. IE9 Mobile comes with the same implementation as the desktop browser, which offers the following when it comes to videos:
Same Implementation on Mobile and Desktop
The Mango version has same browser as desktop IE, with all the same greatness of HTML5 and the amazing hardware acceleration capability. For video, this means three things:
Same markup: the same <video> HTML markup will run on bothIE9 desktop as well as on IE9 Mobile, i.e. the embedded video will play without any modification of your code.
Same format: IE9 on Mango will play HTML5 video in H.264, the most widely used video format on the mobile web. For a thorough treatment of the topic regarding IE9’s support for H.264, the IE blog has a few excellent posts here, here and here.
Same hardware acceleration: On Mango IE9, video playback is accelerated by the GPU on the device, the same way desktop IE9 video performance leverages the GPU.
Optimized Playback Experience
On top of the standards-compliant video HTML tag support, we designed the video viewing experience to be as simple and efficient as possible, while optimizing the viewing experience for small screens to be full-screen. As a result of this design, the controls attribute of the <video> tag is ignored because the full-screen native media player will always have the controls. The width and height attributes specify the width and height of the video thumbnail, and the poster attribute specifies where the thumbnail image comes from.
