Hi, hope somebody can help me, Im trying to make a <video> background that autoplays even when the iPhone is in low battery, Ive seen some people do this using blob and m3u8, but I can't get it to work:

<video id="ForcePlay"width="500px"height="500px"mutedplaysinlineautoplay>

<source src="https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/l_cloudinary_icon,o_30,co_white,w_0.2,g_north_west/sp_sd/bb_bunny.m3u8"type="application/x-mpegURL">

</video>

 

<script type="text/javascript">

var video = document.getElementById('ForcePlay');

var url ='https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/l_cloudinary_icon,o_30,co_white,w_0.2,g_north_west/sp_sd/bb_bunny.m3u8';

var mediaSource =newMediaSource(url);

video.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource);

</script>

  Hi Michael,

  In order to use the autoplay in iOS devices, you need to make sure to include the playsinline attribute in the video element. 

  In addition, when the iOS device is in low power mode you need to add code to catch the suspend event. You can see an example here:   https://simplernerd.com/html-autoplay/

  Let us know if this solved your issue,

  Hi Michal, sorry for the late reply,

  yes of course I use autoplay and playsinline, but I haven't been able to go around the suspend, what I mean with .m3u8 / blob: is something like this link bellow, it works in Low power and no interaction necessary https://frontend-shallow-70b6326a-bcfa-4a9c-a1bb-6f58b5cb3fff.koji-apps.com/?uncache=1638498629&presentationStyle=fullscreen#koji-feed-key=profile

  <video loop="" playsinline="" class="sc-dlfnbm bAyFOX" src="blob:https://frontend-shallow-70b6326a-bcfa-4a9c-a1bb-6f58b5cb3fff.koji-apps.com/a8586118-3021-4524-b09e-0f589bb6e797"><source src="https://stream.mux.com/daGhRvRZ7YQqogPH8UI3HBmO01UwhM01pIkAzqn302wkMQ.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL"><source src="https://stream.mux.com/daGhRvRZ7YQqogPH8UI3HBmO01UwhM01pIkAzqn302wkMQ/low.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>

  I wonder if this is possible with Cloudinary 

  Appreciate any help , thanks

  Yes, this can be done by using the Cloudinary Video player. You can read more about this here: https://cloudinary.com/blog/html5_video_tags_won_t_do_for_your_videos.
