HTML5 Video Playback Issues on Safari with Custom Controls
I'm working through a tutorial and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I tried several approaches but none seem to work... This might be a silly question, but I'm experiencing playback issues with HTML5 video elements in Safari when using custom controls. The video plays fine in Chrome and Firefox, but on Safari, it only displays a black screen when I try to play it. I've tried using the `playsinline` attribute and ensuring the video format is compatible, but nothing seems to work. Here's a snippet of my HTML: ```html <video id="myVideo" width="640" height="360" controls playsinline> <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> <button id="playButton">Play</button> <button id="pauseButton">Pause</button> ``` And my JavaScript for custom controls: ```javascript const video = document.getElementById('myVideo'); const playButton = document.getElementById('playButton'); const pauseButton = document.getElementById('pauseButton'); playButton.addEventListener('click', () => { video.play(); }); pauseButton.addEventListener('click', () => { video.pause(); }); ``` I've checked the console, but there are no behavior messages. The video file is accessible, and I confirmed the MIME type is correct on the server. Also, this scenario seems to occur with videos hosted locally as well as on external servers. Could there be a Safari-specific setting or compatibility scenario that I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu. Any ideas what could be causing this? This is part of a larger API I'm building. How would you solve this? The stack includes Html and several other technologies. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I recently upgraded to Html 3.10. Any feedback is welcome!
