Note that you might have to manually switch to the new player in Safari
(e.g. on
) in the settings of the
min-player.

Status update:
The weekly MediaWiki update deployment -- with ogv.js included -- has now
reached
en.wikipedia.org. Please do try it out in Safari, Internet
Explorer, or MS Edge and give a shout about any problems not already listed
at
http://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page#Pending_fixes
This is still a soft launch and _could_ be rolled back if necessary (but so
far so good)... A bigger announcement will come next week once some
additional bug fixes go out.

I've done some more fixes to ogv.js to
perform *much* smoother on slower
machines by running the decoders in Web Worker threads. If there's no
objection, I'm going to land ogv.js (and a number of smaller fixes for
media playback) into TimedMediaHandler later today.
ogv.js is a JavaScript compatibility shim for Ogg and WebM video in
Safari
and IE/Edge which don't support free codecs
natively. (IE/Edge on desktop
can use native WebM components if you install them manually but still
lack
Ogg audio support.) This replaces the old Cortado
Java applet that no
longer works on most current computers.
