Methodology
We tested the remaining four video players on an iPad, iOS 10, Safari, Zagg keyboard. We tested only one task via the keyboard on the iPad: whether the controls could be operated by the keyboard. A video player was deemed to include a showstopper if any of the following occurred:
- Video could not be played– not a failure of WCAG2, but deemed a significant failure;
- Video could not be paused– failure of WCAG2 Level A Success Criterion 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide; and/or
- Video crashed the browser– not a failure of WCAG2, but deemed a significant failure.
Two video players: JW Player and Plyr, contained show-stoppers. The remaining two video players were: AblePlayer; and OzPlayer.
