https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43673

           Summary: The preload attribute of the video tag is not
                    completely implemented
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: kupka at L3S.de


The preload attribute of the video tag works according to the standard for the values "none" and "auto". Unfortunately the value "metadata" doesn't work as expected because the whole video is loaded instead of loading only enough data to show a frame and to determine duration.
