bandwidth to transfer the file in a reasonable amount of time video is
useless, most of the surface of the earth doesn't have connectivity

Yes. One could have a YouTube control video, which would probably be a
good idea in any case.
Right now the only project which I am sure are using
the player are
Enwikipedia, and Commons. I understand that it's been copied over to a
number of other projects, I've left that up to whomever is interested.
It doesn't help that the player isn't localizable (although I reduced
the text in it to a minimum, the next version will be).
There's another item for the roadmap ..
