WebM VP9 source videos are played back in current TimedMediaHandler preferably over the VP8 transcodes, which among other things means a super high-res HD or UHD version might be played instead of a suitable resolution.
Once VP9 transcodes go out those'll take priority and be properly sized, but would be nice to make sure that VP9 source videos are only shown when there's no alternative yet.

This is still happening, and is cropping up more often. Prioritizing a fix and assigning to self.
