    Serve Different Video Per Browser / Mobile

    Posted 14 years 7 months ago
    • Hi Guys,

      Am looking for a way to serve a different video file if the user is on a mobile device / iPhone.

      For example a .flv if they are on a desktop, but .3gp on an iPhone.

      Ultimately I'd like to be able to do this in K2.

      I did see something about including a php statement similar to this:
      <?php
if(strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],’iPhone’) || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],’iPod’)) {
print <<<END
<embed src=”http://pathtovideo.3gp” width=”XXX” height=”XXX” href=”http://pathtovideo.3gp”>
END;
}
else {
print <<<END
*****VIDEO EMBED CODE*****
END;
}
?>

      But that would only work in the body and not allow me to select the alternate video in K2.

      Hrmmmm.....

    • Hmm could you use the custom PHP module (mod_php)
      www.fijiwebdesign.com/products/joomla-php-module.html

      Add the code above, then set it as a custom position "customvid" on the K2 page.
      then within the K2 item put {loadposition customvid}

      I havent a clue if it will work, but only way i can think without editing K2's core files or creating a plugin.
