Why doesn't Safari want to download videos?

Question

safari

I embed the video on the site using the video tag:
<video src="assets/video/video.mp4"></video>
The problem is in Safari - the video just doesn't load (the loadeddata event doesn't fire and the video doesn't play).
What's confusing me is that the video loads fine when I open the page via localhost (using gulp). On the server - no way! And only in safari, in other browsers everything is fine.
The console is clean.
What could be the problem (browser settings, something else?) and how to overcome it?

Answer 1

Try enabling controls:

<video src="http://example.com/path/mymovie.mp4" controls></video>
