title: Google Chrome does not autoplay HTML5 video on mobile
body: <p>I have problems to get a video to play on my Android mobile in the latest version of Chrome. In other browsers like the Puffin browser the video is playing. For test purposes I tried all common formats: </p>
  
  <pre><code>mp4
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;video autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" onended="this.play()"&gt;&lt;source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4" type="video/mp4" /&gt;&lt;/video&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  webm
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;video autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" onended="this.play()"&gt;&lt;source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.webm" type="video/webm" /&gt;&lt;/video&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  ogg
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;video autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" onended="this.play()"&gt;&lt;source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.ogv" type="video/ogg" /&gt;&lt;/video&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>According to <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats" rel="noreferrer">Mozilla</a> the first video, that is H.264 + AAC in MP4 should play. I also take <a href="https://www.broken-links.com/2010/07/08/making-html5-video-work-on-android-phones/" rel="noreferrer">this article</a> in account and tried to play the videos by JavaScript additionally as well as tried to remove the <code>type</code> attribute on the first <code>video</code> tag without success. </p>
  
  <p>How can I get it work in Chrome on Mobile?</p>
