HTML5 <video> tag in Chrome doesn't work

Question

I have noticed a strange problem with the HTML5 <video/> tag in Chrome.

Using this, it works fine:

<video poster="023.png" autoplay controls> <source src="todojunto.mp4" type="video/mp4"  /> </video> 

This only plays the sound, no video:

<video poster="023.png" autoplay > <source src="todojunto.mp4" type="video/mp4"  /> </video> 

If I remove the poster attribute, it works again.

All other browsers (even IE9...!) works perfectly, and I can't seem to find the reason.

Any ideas/help?

Thanks

Answer 1

Video tag's attributes should be specified for strict standard implementation:

<video poster="023.png" autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">     <source src="todojunto.mp4" type="video/mp4"  /> </video> 

If this doesn't work, there is something changed in your browser's preferences

Answer 2

I'm surprised your video even shows up. Chrome stopped supporting mp4. You should use a .webm file when working with Chrome for html5 videos.
