[whatwg] Html 5 video element's poster attribute

[Shiv Kumar]

What would "reset" mean? Would it mean the cached video stream is disposed
off, would it mean the video's current time goes to zero or where it was
when the page was first loaded. I think reset could mean way too many things
for too many people in various scenarios and will be fraught with UA
implementation nuances.

Currently is doesn't affect the poster. But would that be intuitive? I'm
getting the video element to load it's source and so the poster will show?

 

Ideally poster should be an object (a property of the video element) that
has a source property and a visible property. Or to not break current
implementations. The video element could have a method called
showPoster(bool) or a bool property called postervisible.

I regard the load() function as a kind of reset() function. But possibly we
need an actual reset() function to return to the original state where the
poster image is displayed?
