Nardog updated the task description. (Show Details)

Oddly enough, I can't reproduce it with any other file... there seems to be something specific about Example.ogg and Chrome. But it does play once, so there must be something that can be fixed there.

I can confirm the behavior.

Interestingly, https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Example.ogg doesn't play even once:

The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

Console shows

VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:3 MEDIA_ERR_DECODE) The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

This file is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Example.ogg, which we have had for 15 years and is used hundreds of times. So, even if it's a bug in the videojs (it plays fine loaded directly), I guess nobody hears Example.ogg in chrome (it probably used to work at one point).

@Platonides This task is specifically about Phonos. I've created T326036 for VideoJS.
