When I am on a webpage with the <img src=“.mp4” /> and switch to a different app, therefore sending safari to the background, it pauses the mp4 and it doesn’t start when I switch back to safari. How to reproduce: - open a webpage with an <img src=“.mp4” /> on safari for iOS. For example this one: https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2017/animated-gif-without-the-gif/ - scroll to the Rocky gif on the page. - send safari to the background - wait 10 to 15 seconds - open safari The Rocky gif should be paused. Is this a bug? And would there be a possible work around for this? And happy holidays! 1826832 1 imbashenk 2021-12-25 14:33:01 -0800 I actually found that the article uses a .gif, instead of a .mp4 file. Nevertheless, the behaviour is still that the video is paused. 1827453 2 webkit-bug-importer 2022-01-01 13:30:20 -0800 <rdar://problem/87041842>
