HTML5 video not autoplaying? - android

This is driving me NUTS!
I have simple HTML5 video player that won't autoplay on Android.
Here a sample. This WON`T autoplay
<video autoplay muted loop>
<source src="./image/stories/boomerang_stories.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<p>Your browser does not support the video element.</p>
</video>

The bizarre thing is, it's the same code from here, and this one works.
<video autoplay muted loop>
<source src="chrome-clip.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<p>Your browser does not support the video element.</p>
</video>

Am I missing something really obvious? The only variable I can think about is the video size.

Video background showing but not playing on firefox for android

I encountered a problem while trying to use a background video on mobile. Everything works just fine on Chrome and Opera but whenever I try to open the webpage on firefox for android it won't start. It's there but autoplay won't start for some reasons. Can you help me figure out why?
<video width="100%" height="100%" autoplay muted loop>
<source src="images/ECLYPSODark_Side.mp4" type=video/mp4>
<source src="images/ECLYPSODark_Side.ogv" type=video/ogg>
<source src="images/ECLYPSODark_Side.webm" type=video/webm>
</video>
I found a solution to it. If you put the video on mute it autoplays, otherwise it doesn't!

How to use html5 video tag in Xamarin.forms based webview?

I am using xamarin.forms webview and have implemented video tag in my html5 code to play video.
I test it on IOS and Android. None of both play the video. What I am doing wrong?, I read on some SO set hardware acceleration. Someone please help me how this thing work.
Testing code for playing video
<p>testing from 3:49</p> <video width='320' height='240' controls> <source src='https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4' type='video/mp4'> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
<p>testing from 3:49</p> <video width='320' height='240' controls> <source src='https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/examples/flower.webm' type='video/mp4'> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
What is wrong in my case is I have isEnable property false in WebView. After set it True, it's working fine.
If you still have some issue, try to enable HardwareAccelerate in Mainfest of Android app.

HTML Video on Android - Mute / Unmute control not available

I have enabled controls in my video tag so that users can unmute the video when it is playing on Desktop, the issue I have having is that on Android it continues to play muted with control option to unmute, also on iOS, it plays unmuted by default.
My code is:
<video id="player" width="430" height="236" style="position:absolute; top:7px; left:52px;" poster="movie.jpg" muted autoplay controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogv" type="video/ogg">
<img width="430" height="236" style="position:absolute; top:7px; left:52px;" src="movie.jpg" />
</video>
I can't find any answer anywhere. Desktop works fine.
on iOS devices you can't mute or change volume HTML video (:
