Woohoo, thedj has dome some review and merged things up through the desktop ogv.js patch, which gets playback working in Safari, IE 10/11, and MS Edge. :)

Still pending distribution obviously; we'll see if they hit wmf branches or just wait until the next branchpoint.


Please do still test & comment -- I can always fix bugs. ;) https://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org/

(The mobile patch is still waiting, as it needs more work.)

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.

Please feel free to help review and test! Live demo site https://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org/

There's also my basic mobile integration, which requires some more work to support suitable controls:
