When browsing the internet with a mobile device, many websites will automatically redirect you to their mobile-version of their website. Sometimes websites will create apps that allow mobile device-users to view their material in a format that is more visually compatible & functionable with mobile devices. Listed below are mobile-versions of websites & apps that will help you view library content in a more efficient way. |
Films On Demand is currently accessible via any mobile device with an Internet connection. All videos have been encoded in H.264 format to allow playback on any iOS device, including iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
Android devices must currently use Adobe Flash for playback.
The Kindle Fire also uses Adobe Flash for video playback, but the feature is not enabled by default. Users must manually enable Flash before viewing Films On Demand videos.
