Video streaming issue with safari & IOS 11

Hi. This seems to be working for me.

Is this a particular site, or any site?

Does it work normally on Vimeo, say?

Have you tried restarting your devices? Power off, not just sleep. It's important to do this after an iOS update.

Same here... Updated to iOS11 today and since then all the videos I stream are looping. Doesn't matter which browser I use. Did a clear cache on Safari etc no luck.

Apple Support - Please enter this as a bug and get it fixed asap! Disappointing that you're pushing the update to people and its not been tested on something as common as Streaming Video!

Same here ... REALLY bad lag on any site with a video embed (examples: tv dot com and gamespot dot com), also advertisements that repeat and loop indefinitely after 10 secs, etc... this truly does make browsing the internet on your phone impossible, so fix this problem asap please!!

Has anyone in this post sent feedback to Apple to give them a heads up about this issue?

I have the same problem. The Videostream ist going in loop mode after watching for a while. The Loop contains the last 3-4 seconds of the stream when it occurs. I have it with the Apps Plex, Dailymotion, YouTube and Safari. iPad pro. iOS 11.01. :(

I’m on iPhone 7 and also find videos stop after a few minutes, the screen goes black, and no audio. What happened to Apple’s “it just works” philosophy? The PBS NewsHour is one site where the issue is easily repeated. Try viewing any full episode. On Windows 10, these videos play with no issues.

I am noticing this too with sites that had worked “for years“ without problems. Now with iOS 11 I am getting the strange behavior you are describing. Suddenly repeating scenes. Sometimes the symptom goes away after several repetitions. Or I have to reload the page and player to continue the video. Clearing the cache does not help. My iPad has been freshly setup, it was not migrated from earlier versions. I am having this on multiple devices actually. Sites: ardmediathek.de, zdf.de, the official GermanTV media libraries.

seems to be related to wifi connection quality/speed. Before iOS11 video playback switches stream quality automatically, but it seem to be broken in iOS11. Videos are played in near best quality and any wifi slowdown causes video loop/freeze instead auto quality switch.
