The video [[:File:Hallands%C3%A5sen_TBM_model_-_01.webm]] won't play in the
online Commons media player. The media player opens, but nothing is shown. In
Firefox or Chromium, I can right click on the (empty) video area and select
"Show video" or "Open video in new tab", respectively, which will let the
internet browser open the media file directly without the Commons media player.
However, doing so gives a '''404 Not Found''', because the URL
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/0/08/Hallands%C3%83%C2%A5sen_TBM_model_-_01.webm/Hallands%C3%83%C2%A5sen_TBM_model_-_01.webm.480p.webm)
is probably not encoded in the right way. Replacing "Ã¥" with "å" in the URL
seems to help. I guess that this is why the Commons media player isn't able to
play the file. The problem can also be seen with other files with non ASCII
file names, for example [[:File:Gierfähre Rathen.webm]].
