This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Currently, the spec says that the only valid value for media.loop when the media reads from a MediaStream is "false"; but it's not clear whether it means that setting it to true doesn't change the value of the attribute, or merely that it doesn't have any effect. I'm not finding any clear guidance on this from the HTML spec: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/CR/embedded-content-0.html#attr-media-loop Currently, Firefox accepts to set it to true, but I don't know if that's intended or just the current state of implementation.
The same applies to media.preload
My interpretation is that it's ok to set it and the value will change, but it has no effect.
Proposed change: https://github.com/fluffy/webrtc-w3c/commit/399711d00977adb3c834eae115c0ff336df1047e
Fixed in Editor's draft v20131017
my comment also applied to .preload — I think the spec should have the same treatment for preload as it has for loop (i.e. any value is acceptable, but won't have any effect)
