Notes
Old Firefox versions were missing support for some properties:
loop
was added in v11,played
in v15,playbackRate
in v20.
Bugs
Volume is read-only on iOS.
iOS and Chrome on Android do not support autoplay as advised by the specification.
On iOS the
ended
event is not fired when the screen is off or the browser is in the background (meaning that e.g.src
cannot be changed).
