Multiple <video> tags with same source broken?

[Patrick Stinson]

I have a simple page with three <video> elements, two of which use the
same source. The second duplicate video doesn't seem to want to load
the video source (I never get a 'canplay' event and the <video> tag is
blank), but seems to work if I actually duplicate the file and give it
a new url so that all three elements have unique URLs. Is this a bug
or is there some subtle behavior in the spec that I'm not aware of?

Thanks!

Sounds like some sort of caching bug. Does it work in Safari? What version of Chrome are you on?

Chrome 16.0.912.75. It does actually work in safari, although I noticed that if I call video.play() in nearly immediate succession the three videos start in sync (essential for my page) on chrome and not in safari.

Can you try it in the latest Canary build? If it's still an issue, please file a bug at new.crbug.com.

Still happens in Canary, appears to be sporadic. I'll file a bug.
