Note that you might have to manually switch to the new player in Safari (e.g. on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora ) 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.

Some videos!
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_panda#Diet - small videos!
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity_(rover)#Rover_role_in_the_landing_system
- big videos!

Some audio!
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Godzilla.ogg - short audio!
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Durian.ogg - long audio!

I'm starting to update documentation as well:
*
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#ogv.js_soft_launch_-_media_playback_for_Safari.2C_IE.2C_Edge
*
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler#August_2015_update
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/ogv.js

Will start updating the Commons media playback docs today and tomorrow...
