Web browsers often disable autoplay of HTML video unless the <video> tag contains the muted attribute.
I am not sure why this has not been a problem so far; maybe the policy is not applied for (small) videos where the source data is provided in-line using <source src="data:video/mp4;base64,{b64}" type="video/mp4"/>.
In our case, the videos do not have sound, so it is safe to always let them start in the muted state when autoplay is on.
Perhaps this might resolve issue #27.
