Description Ezra Katz 2011-05-17 04:44:40 PDT 
This example is a simple html 5 video player. When a link is clicked on the side the source elements of the video are changed and the load function of the video is called. This works fine in the latest version of Safari, but shows inconsistent behavior in Chrome and the Webkit Nightly. After a couple switches the video fails to load.

Reproduce the bug by clicking the links and switching the video a few times.

I investigated further, and the only issue seems to be when there are separate source elements. Changing the <video src> attribute directly results in the expected behavior.
