Webview 4k support check

Vega Open Beta Q&A
1

Hi @Moses @Richa
is there a way to check 4k support in kepler webview ?

we support multiple platform so we need to check it for usecases.
For example method to check in Tizen is as below
webapis.productinfo.isUdPanelSupported().

Similarly do we have in kepler ?

Hi @amit

Apologies for the delayed reply.

Web apps need to check two things before playing 4K content for best experience,

  1. Check Whether the device hardware (Ex: Fire TV 4K Select) has media decoding capability to play 4K content, you can refer more information on this here.
  2. Check whether the device connected to 4K display - At this moment web apps need to use Vega Graphics API Approach to detect display capability - https://community.amazondeveloper.com/t/detecting-screen-resolution-for-media-playback-in-react-native-applications-on-vega-os/24650#p-47020-vega-graphics-api-approach-2

However, WebView is working on a solution (window.screen.width) which can be done from web app itself. This feature will be rolled out in one of our future releases soon.

Warm regards,
Ivy
