I notice that there doesn't seem to be a way in the API data for transcode
status or imageinfo to get the actual URLs of transcoded media output.
prop=transcodestatus lists the formats/sizes but doesn't expose URLs to the
actual resources:

prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|size lists the URL to the original media file, but
none of the transcodes:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&titles=File:Malta%20-%20Mellieha%20-%20Misrah%20iz-Zjara%20tal-Papa%20Gwanni%20Pawlu%20II%2001%20%280%29%20ies.ogv&format=jsonfm&iiprop=url|size
For lower-level tools doing a preview, or native app playback, it would be very
nice to have direct access to the transcodes. (I can probably fake the URLs by
knowing what they happen to be relative to the base media file, but I don't
know if that's stable.)
