(In reply to comment #0) > Safari 5 / Nightly. Use of `preload="none"` on a video element causes QuickTime to state > "Loading…" without changing.

The "Loading" message is clearly wrong, but Safari 5 does show the poster when at video element has a valid poster attribute adn `preload="none"`. Without a poster attribute you won't see the first frame, but I believe this is the correct behavior because it isn't possible to display the first frame without loading a movie's metadata, which is what `preload="metadata"` is for. Having said that, `preload="metadata"` doesn't behave correctly in Safari - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43673 |
