My video header wont't play when the page loads
I have a video in my header, however, it will only play once you click on the home link in the menu to go to the /index.html. It will not play when the page first loads. I have also tested to see if manually entering /index.html at the end of the url works, it does not. The code I am using to play the video is:
<video autoplay loop>
<source type="video/mp4" src="images/untitled.mp4" />
<source type="video/webm" src="images/untitled.webm" />
</video>
And my website is http://richardgao.5gbfree.com (source code can be checked)
How do I get the video to play automatically when I first load the page?
Thanks

have you tested it in chrome? for chrome you need to switch off sound:
<video autoplay muted loop> ... </video>
and at least on some versions of safari autoplay doesn't work at all. you might start your vid using jquery, something like:
<video id="video" ...> ... </video>
$(document).ready()
$('#video').play();

Thanks, I tried mute, but the video doesn't have sound anyways, so it didn't work. And yes, I am playing ti on Chrome

you have to mute videos without sound too. check the output in your console, obviously there's a problem with the headers: Invalid 'X-Frame-Options' header encountered when loading 'embed.waze.com/…': 'ALLOW ALL' is not a recognized directive. The header will be ignored.
