inconsistent behaviour for video display in different formats
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The following two videos, embedded as thumb:

[[File:The Impact of Wikipedia Ravan Jaafar Altaie.webm|thumb|400px|caption]]
[[File:Roundhay Garden Scene.ogg|thumb|400px|caption]]

The wiki-syntax for them is 100% similar, except the filename (and the file type). One would expect that they behave similarly, however, the first one appears in a popup window upon click, while the 2nd is directly playing the video without opening a popup.

It should either open the video in a popup (dialog) in both or them, or in none of them.

Ah, this is probably due to the source file size -- there's a sort of hack with the popup dialog. I'm hoping to make this much more consistent in the new video.js frontend...

After videojs its no longer inconsistent. The new inline player keyword that is being worked on in T241107 should make this predictable in the future.
