Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

What happens?:
These search results for audio list various items which are actually videos

What should have happened instead?:
They should not show up in the audio matches, but in the video matches

This is actually a follow up of T226311. It seems most of these files were previously mis registered and since corrected. They show up correctly in the the database and in api responses: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=imageinfo&meta=&titles=File%3AHof%20vs.%20Corona%2020200319%20WebM%20ohne%20Ton%20002.webm&iiprop=timestamp%7Cuser%7Cmetadata%7Cmediatype%7Cmime

Suspicion is that the cirrus search search index either does its own mime detection or keeps a copy that for some reason was not updated after these files had a hard refresh.

Thanks for letting us know. We have a regular process (the Sanetizer) that corrects errors such as this in our indexes. This should be resolved automatically when it next runs in a few months. If you are still having issues after that, please feel free to reopen.
