When I load my page with a bunch of videos I see a Chrome status bar showing 'Waiting for available socket' and the page is pending. If I remove some video tags, it loads fine. My video tags are simple like this:

<video>
      <source src='/video/video.webm'/>
</video>

I have searched Google, but had no luck. Can anyone help me with this?

  • Not sure if you need to specify codecs. Try this: `` – Papa Feb 12 '14 at 23:37

    This might be an issue of you trying to pull too many video files from your server. Chrome can only open 8 (or somewhere around that) concurrent HTTP connections to a given domain. – Ayush Feb 12 '14 at 23:41
  • See http://www.browserscope.org/?category=network&v=top. They list 6 on Chrome. – Henrik Ammer Feb 12 '14 at 23:54

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/29639535/1339426

Adding preload="none" to your video tag will solve this. Although I would prefer an option that allowed me to preload the metadata.
