           Summary: iPad/iPhone: Video with <source> element(s) does not
                    work on refresh if poster attribute is present
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/ipad_b
                    ug.html
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

This affects the iPad and to a lesser extent, the iPhone. It was possibly
introduced in iPhone OS 3.0.

If you have a video element using the poster attribute, and that video element
uses <source> element(s) instead of the src attribute, then the play button
will fail to appear when you refresh the page and every refresh there after.

To test, view the provided URL on iPad and refresh the page. You can no longer
play the video. Refreshing again doesn’t rectify the problem.

Removing the poster attribute on the video element resolves this problem.

The test case provided does not affect the iPhone, but the iPhone does exhibit
the behaviour in other test cases (for example, the video on
