It would seem that that in webkit builds using the gstreamer backend, looped videos are not seamless. File to reproduce: https://ftp.octaforge.org/q66/random/red.mp4 HTML source for test: <video src="red.mp4" autoplay loop /> This "flicker" happens after the player stops and before it starts again. It should be reproducible with any video, but the above is guaranteed to reproduce the problem.

Hum this breaks pages with videos containing webm/alpha. Can't land as-is.
