random pause events recv'd HTML5 video tag

has any one seen this and/or know the solution?

what could cause a pause event to get triggered? we can trap when the event gets caught in the safari debugger

but unable to see what is causing it. like who is sending the event? is there any way to trace the sending of media events in safari?

we get random pause events recv'd by our video tag, a few seconds after video start.

seems to be on videos with audio playing Only, ios10.3 and up

okay on ios10.2


UIWebView implementation

if anyone is curious, we found a workaround, we think we may be getting the pause due to these iOS web view policies, but it is unclear

because no warnings or errors ...

the above policies were supposed to come online earlier than 10.3, but perhaps they were being tuned as the iOS releases rolled out?


what we found that worked was doing a .pause() on the video tag, then unmuting the the video tag, then enabling the audio track(s)

of the video tag, then .play() on the video element again. voila, no more random pauses. we think...

Is the above solution is still working?. or Have you find any other solution....!
