Notes

WebMoviePlayer uses the built-in HTML5 video player on all browsers. HTML5 video supports MP4, WebM and Ogg video formats. All browsers support MP4 so that is generally recommended.

Browser supported video formats:

Browser	MP4	WebM	Ogg
Internet Explorer	Yes	No	No
Edge	Yes	Optional	No
Chrome	Yes	Yes	Yes
Firefox	Yes	Yes	Yes
Safari	Yes	No	No
Opera	Yes	Yes	Yes

You can provide URLs for up to three movie formats to support different screen size/bandwidth requirements as chosen by the web browser based on how it is connected to the web:

URL	Screen Size/Bandwidth
DesktopURL	Large Size, High-Bandwidth
MobileWiFiURL	Small-Size, High-Bandwidth
MobileCellularURL	Small-Size, Low-Bandwidth

The URLs must be actual URLs that would also work in a web browser. They cannot be local file URLs from a FolderItem.
