Answer 1

I had a similar problem. I was listening for an the end event on a video and setting currentTime to the middle of the video to loop it continuously. It wasn't working in Safari or Chrome.

I think there may be a bug in Safari/Chrome where playhead position properties aren't available unless the media is currently playing.

My workaround was to start my loop just before the video end and not letting it actually end.

Try testing yours by starting playback first and then run your fuction to see if it works in Safari Chrome.
