Hi all,

I have been trying to use <img src=“.mp4” /> and it works great, but there is 1 issue on safari for iOS. 

When I am on a webpage with the <img src=“.mp4” /> and switch to a different app, therefore sending safari to the background, it pauses the mp4 and it doesn’t start when I switch back to safari. 

How to reproduce:
- open a webpage with an <img src=“.mp4” /> on safari for iOS. For example this one: https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2017/animated-gif-without-the-gif/
- scroll to the Rocky gif on the page.
- send safari to the background
- wait 10 to 15 seconds
- open safari

The Rocky gif should be paused. 

Is this a bug? And would there be a possible work around for this?

And happy holidays!
