I spent the weekend hacking at integration of my ogv.js JavaScript Ogg
media player into TimedMediaHandler's embedded player widget. Patch set in
progress:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/145756/
It's pretty much working in Safari 7 and IE 10/11, but needs various tweaks
and fixes still. Some older browser versions should be supportable using a
Flash cross-compile, but I haven't got that running in the embedding yet.
Here's a wiki running the patch with some sample files:

In the process I've noticed several issues with TimedMediaHandler and its
dependencies when running on cutting-edge infrastructure; various bugs
filed:
