HTML5 Video Element Not Playing on Mobile Safari - working with API Errors
I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm trying to implement an HTML5 video player that works across multiple devices, but I'm working with a frustrating scenario specifically on Mobile Safari. While the video plays perfectly on desktop browsers and other mobile platforms, on Mobile Safari, it fails to play and throws the following behavior in the console: `Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a call to pause()`. Here's the code snippet I've been using: ```html <video id="myVideo" width="640" height="360" controls> <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` I've also attached event listeners to handle play and pause: ```javascript const video = document.getElementById('myVideo'); video.addEventListener('play', () => { console.log('Video is playing.'); }); video.addEventListener('pause', () => { console.log('Video has been paused.'); }); ``` To troubleshoot, I've tried several things: 1. I ensured the video file is encoded in a compatible format and is accessible on the server. 2. I attempted to load the video using a different source URL, which made no difference. 3. I added the `muted` attribute to the video element since some browsers only allow autoplay on muted videos. Despite these attempts, the video still doesn't play on Mobile Safari, and I need to figure out what might be causing the scenario. Any insights into why this might be happening or how I can resolve it would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. Is there a better approach? I recently upgraded to Html 3.11. Thanks for your help in advance!
