ios上的html5视频背景视频

Question

I have the following video that is part of a slider.

<div class="slide video-bg">
    <video muted webkit-playsinline playsinline poster="/video/3/4_Marching_band-HD_1080p.jpg">
        <source src="/video/3/4_Marching_band-HD_1080p.webm" type="video/webm">
        <source src="/video/3/4_Marching_band-HD_1080p.mp4" type="video/mp4">
        <source src="/video/3/4_Marching_band-HD_1080p.ogv" type="video/ogg">
    </video>
</div>

When the page loads, play() is called on the video. On every desktop browser I've tried this works great. But on iOS the video never plays.

I've read https://webkit.org/blog/6784/new-video-policies-for-ios/ and tried to follow each requirement. I even added the autoplay attribute to the video even though I want to control it with js. The video has no audio and is visible when the page loads. Any idea why it won't play on iOS?

Add this to your CSS to remove the unsightly play button from iOS devices:

                *::-webkit-media-controls-panel {
                  display: none!important;
                  -webkit-appearance: none;
                }

                *::--webkit-media-controls-play-button {
                  display: none!important;
                  -webkit-appearance: none;
                }

                *::-webkit-media-controls-start-playback-button {
                  display: none!important;
                  -webkit-appearance: none;
                }
