Cisco Interactive Experience Platform Content Creation Guidelines

Chapter 1 Content Types

Content Types

Video caching is handled by a separate caching mechanism (assuming the videos are played via native

player widget), which has a rich browser API.

If a video from a web site will not play, it may be the player. Many external sites implement their own

video players and create logic to detect the browser capabilities and choose an appropriate player.

Because the Cobra browser is unknown to a lot of the sites and resembles the Safari browser, they may

pick the wrong player. To counter that you can change the User Agent for the particular page once you

find what user agent works properly with your video provider.

Note Support for external video sites is limited and video playback is not accelerated. Cisco recommends that

you use the native video player.
