Audio but no video playback in IOS 15 Safari on iPad Pro 2nd gen

I often start a video on a site or within News and it starts up with a black image but does have sound. If I restart or otherwise shuttle the playback position in the video, the picture will suddenly appear. Will continue to work until it doesn’t. Perhaps after a restart of ipad. Not sure what causes it to misbehave again.


I’d attach a short video but not allowed here it appears.


iPad Pro 2nd Gen. iOS 15

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hey Robert Breeding,


We understand that you're experiencing a back image with sound when playing a video, and we'd like to help!


Those are some great steps that you took on your own already. Since the behavior continues even after restarting your device, we'll need to look further to find the cause of the issue.


Have you tested this issue while connected to another network? Are you currently connected to a Wi-Fi network when playing these videos? We're curious if this issue occurs due to the network connection.


Try closing the apps first and then re-opening them to see if it helps: Close an app on your iPad


Let us know how it goes.


Cheers!
