to show the poster anytime during plaback. But it is a use case that is
currently in use by a well known website and there may be others as well. I (ExposureRoom,
really) have a need to show the poster at the end of the video and we allow
content producers to control that, meaning they can choose not to).</span></p>

about the load() method and stated why in previous posts.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">What if someone does not want to show the poster at the end.
YouTube and Vimeo are examples of that user case. How do you propose they have
the option to not show the poster?</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>That's how it works by default. What I suggested was to use a call to the load() method after it has played through to reset to the beginning state if you really need that. Thus, it covers both use cases.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> So in order to provide this flexibility and make the video
element useable insofar as the features it does provide, I still feel providing
a method to turn it on/off satisfies the current use cases, including those we
may not agree with. Yes, using the removeAttribute is a hack when the needs
have been clearly demonstrated (I believe).</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>It's how you remove the poster. It's a single function call and thus not a hack.<br><br>Regards,<br>Silvia.<br><br></div></div>
