Preload video as Blob, and then use createObjectURL() to create a BlobURL. The video plays on all OSs/browsers, but on iOS 10.3 got rejected when trying to play (promise) with the message:

NotSupportedError (DOM Exception 9): The operation is not supported.

If switch the <video> src to a normal video url, it plays normally.

The code to get the blob url:

fetch(videoURL)
  .then(response => response.blob())
  .then(window.URL.createObjectURL)
  .then(console.log)

Which one are you using safari browser? or WKWebview? – Sivajee Battina May 02 '17 at 18:25
@SivajeeBattina safari browser, but I would assume WKWebview behaves the same since it's the same in iOS chrome. Thank you. – Neo May 03 '17 at 21:13
Did you find a solution for this? – lassemt Oct 07 '17 at 21:08
