Philip Jägenstedt notes: The most straightforward way to specify this is probably if load() sets an internal flag on the media element, and if the the resource fetch algorithm simply skips the preload="none" steps if it is set. Another path could be to make more explicit that there's an internal preload state that is influenced not only by the content attribute, but also by setting the autoplay attribute, calling play(), setting currentTime, and now, calling load().[1] [1] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2015Jul/0008.html 121849 1 philipj 2015-07-07 08:29:29 +0000 Simon, are you editing the embedded content part of the spec now, or is this still on Hixie's table? 121850 2 philipj 2015-07-07 08:30:45 +0000 Brian, can you describe in some detail how this was implemented in Gecko? For example, does calling load() change the preload content or IDL attributes? Is the logic connected to the similar overrides of preload for autoplay, calling play() or setting currentTime? 121865 3 bbirtles 2015-07-08 07:51:57 +0000 (In reply to Philip Jägenstedt from comment #2) > Brian, can you describe in some detail how this was implemented in Gecko? > For example, does calling load() change the preload content or IDL > attributes?

The relevant bug is: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1165203 We basically set a flag when load() is called saying "explicitly called load()". Then, when we go to work out the effective preload value to use (since there are complex rules determining the default preload value when it is not set), if the result is "none" and the flag is set, we let the effective preload value be "metadata". We do actually store that resulting "metadata" but I don't think that's observable. We don't do anything different for calls to play(), currentTime etc. 122755 4 zcorpan 2015-08-24 19:58:55 +0000 (In reply to Philip Jägenstedt from comment #1) > Simon, are you editing the embedded content part of the spec now, No, only <img>. 129710 5 d 2019-03-29 22:17:43 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4492
