Why HTML5 video doesn't play in IOS 8 WebApp(webview)?

Question

Simple HTML5 video plays on safari browser. but after adding it to home screen(Standalone WebApp), it doesn\'t work. It is working on iOS7 but stopped working on iOS8.

Answer 1

I have two apps that use HTML5 video. One stopped working, the other not. There were two differences:

• The one that still works added the source tags to the video tag AFTER adding the video tag to the DOM.
• The app that still works has autoplay set to false ()

The first one made no difference, the second one made the app work again.
