Hi all, The spec currently states that the poster image specified in the poster attribute for <video> can show up either when no video data is available or when a video element is paused and the current playback position is the first frame of video. The second situation seems like it would allow the poster image to be displayed when a user rewinds the video back to the beginning while paused. I think it would make more sense to just allow the poster image to be displayed if the readyState is less than CAN_PLAY, instead of considering the paused state. The paused state will always be true when the readyState is less than CAN_PLAY, but with this rule, the poster image won't randomly show up in other situations where the video is paused and you're at the beginning. Thanks, Adele
