I am running the latest version of the Salient theme and I am having problems getting the video background to work on chrome and safari. The website video background works smoothly on firefox but on chrome or safari it requires you to visit another page and return to the home page in order for it to work. I have upload all three video file types, WebM, Mp4, and OGV, but still no success.

Hi Andrew,
unfortunately I'm having the exact same issue since updating my Salient theme.
Problems arise on Chrome and Safari.
My background video only plays once i click on another page (e.g. about) , and then back to the homepage.
However If I enter the homepage URL manually or click on a google search link to access page.
The video will remain static on the first frame.
I've disabled plugins, updated WP, Salient, salient-vp with no luck I'm afraid.
