In addition to the sudden burst of transcodes, we found that the player widget is sometimes aggressively selecting the small size when it should be defaulting to a larger size.

So we're temporarily disabling the small sizes again; https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/61760 covers checking/tweaking the player to handle this case better.

Looks like this actually adds them to the queue all at once - 23,386
160p videos queued, 11,745 160p transcodes already done (!), which
means about 85% of all videos are either already transcoded to 160p,
or in the queue.

This might cause some delays in transcoding newly uploaded files, but
given that in a single day there's already been almost 20,000 new
transcodes, it looks like it won't take that long to be done with all
of them. I'm really quite surprised how fast the transcoding is
proceeding.
