  >that is on desktop. It is currently not possible to autoplay video on an iphone, and that is in fact the topic of this thread, and (partially) the purpose of this library. Aha, I see, thought that wasn't the case. Now, having that capability didn't turn out to be much of a problem on the desktop, did it? I mean, regardless of battery concerns etc, do we really see that many autoplayed videos? >What does that actually gain you over the current situation? The ability to decode individual frames, re-arrange them, add filters to them etc using accelerated native APIs -- much more than some "play()", "skip()" affair.

    well actually the ability is a huge and obnoxius problem on desktop, particularly for accessibility. there are lots of autoplaying videos. i do not know what web you are on where there isn't. I'd be happy if the deaktop browsers turned off autoplaying video and audio. or at least add that as an option for me, the user who has to jump for the mute button every time some jerk developer thinks they are being clever. aside from that, mobile is a different story- I doubly don't want a loud car salesman voice telling me about his get rich quick scheme on the train ride home- eating my precious mobile bandwidth, costing me real money. as for your special api abilities, again, you can do all those things now, even on iphone. so again, what more do you actually want?
