With the iOS version 15.5 the CCS object-fit attribute does not work initially on Safari with videos anymore. When we inspect the DOM and uncheck the attribute, to recheck it, it works. But, of course that's not a proper workaround. Adding "important" does not work as well. If you reset the height: The result is flickering. On 15.4 everything works as expected.
