Ya im having the same issue

const videoOptions = { src: "http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/L7fsp5ay-5tEZ0A1w.mp4", autoPlay: true, loop: true };

and it autoplays once it awhile but mostly stays frozen

I just noticed if you go to example 2 on the examples page, http://tkloht.github.io/react-video-cover/#/background, it will also not autoplay on reload.

thanks for letting me know.
You are right, it doesn't seem to work on the second example.
I will try to take a look at it, although my time is pretty limited right now. If any of you has an idea how to fix this, i would be more than happy to accept a pull request.

While doing some work on the examples pages i had a quick look at this.
The problem is that most browsers don't allow autoplay unless the video is muted.

see the second example for working autoplay:

hope this helps!
