Hi all,

The preset for this video is set to HTML5 primary and auto play - auto play works ok in firefox and K-Meleon but not in Chrome, IE9 or my Android browser version 2.3.4. Is that expected behaviour?

Thanks

Autoplay, Loop and Muted

This table lists which browsers support the autoplay, loop and muted attributes. We test against the expectation the attributes work in all browsers.

See the W3C video spec for autoplay attribute, muted attribute and loop attribute details.

BROWSER AUTOPLAY LOOP MUTED
Firefox for Desktop 25+ 25+ 25+
Chrome for Desktop 30 30 30
Safari for Mac 3+ 3+ 5+
Internet Explorer for Windows 9+ 10+ 10+
Opera for Desktop 12+ 12+ 15+
Safari for iOS – 6+ –
Stock Browser for Android – – –
Chrome for Android – 30+ 36+
Internet Explorer for WinPhone 8.1 8.0 8.0
Firefox for Android 32+ 32+ 32+

IE9 always pre-fetches the entire video, regardless of the preload setting.

Mobile browsers never pre-fetch video data, regardless of the preload setting.
