Correct me if I am wrong, but we can't reply on the parser cache that the api will use for outputting the transformed wikitext for the every video displayed? Maybe we shorten the smax to 1 min? We can't be hacky and request the actual page and strip the interface since this sometimes has to run cross domain for "instant commons" / all other projects pulling video from commons.

Actually this cache logic is sort of falling right now anyway since we use the normal jquery global unique callback on the api request so we probably are not hitting the squid cache / using the smax params anyway.

tagging i18n since that is where it first showed up. But I'm wondering if there a better tag?

Well strangely the existence of the German subtitles showed up (the menu let me select them), it's just that the subtitles themselves didn't show.

This works for me now on the file description page, but I'm still seeing the behavior described in comment #0 for the coffee videos embedded in the main page.

This has little to nothing to do with i18n.

ah... yes I need to purge pages where the video is embed because we output the text tracks there. Will fix that in the next commit.
