It seems that if the movie is hosted on a shared repo, the player is unable to find the 'alternative' versions of media and does not present the source selector. Sort of critical in that most movies will probably be hosted on the shared repo :D
This clip has 2 webm resolutions, but on en.wp it can only shows the 360P version.

odd when I pull up the same asset ( hosted on commons ) on my local wiki it displays all the resolutions.
I wonder if there is some data caching issue. The remote sources are subject to descriptionCacheExpiry
See line 293 of WebVideoTranscode.php, it does not seem to check if the time has expired on the cache? Does the cache expire automatically?

Ah ok figured it out, enwiki has transcoding disabled, test2 and commons have it enabled.
This issue is fixed once https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/33147/ is deployed
