I can take a peek at the video playback; I've got a Windows 10 Tech Preview install handy.
With the experimental ogv.js JavaScript shim in playback seems fine on my test pages (eg <http://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org>) but we haven't deployed that to production yet as it needs a few more bug fixes. I'll test with the WebM IE plugin; that ought to "just work" on both IE 9/10/11 and the tech preview... but it sounds like we've got poor behavior when the plugin's not installed, where it *should* be prompting to install the plugin currently rather than giving a raw download. -- brion On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 4:18 PM, Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> wrote: > Actually copying in the multimedia mailing list correctly this time. > > Note: this mailing list is open to the public, and any emails you send > to it will be publicly archived forever at > https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/multimedia .
