What would be lovely is if we could have an option to loop videos on DYK without a play button at all – the way we do for GIFs. Obviously, it'd have to begin playing while muted and there'd be a button to unmute and all that.

This is T116501: [[File:]] keyword for silent, looped autoplay videos (GIF-like behavior) :)

Hmm. I guess that portrait layout was never really considered indeed.

What would be an appropriate solution ? Not show that information in portrait ? Make it smaller ?

Also, have we considered that maybe this is a just no longer an appropriate size for a main page thumbnail ? It seems that core content thumbnail sizes have gone up several times over the last ten years, but that main page of en.wp hasn't really followed that trend.

I assume the CC button turns on closed captioning? Given that it's going to be illegable at this small size, I don't see the need for the button at all. And showing the user how long the clip is (0:14) seems secondary to me, so I'd leave that out below some size threshold.

No, it just indicates that this clip has closed captioning available.
