I've gone ahead and merged these two changes by TheDJ to MwEmbedSupport and
TimedMediaHandler extensions (they are interdependent):
*
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/172556/
*
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/172421/
These clean up how TMH's JavaScript modules get integrated into MediaWiki's
ResourceLoader, and should both reduce weird timing bugs and make it muuuch
easier to refactor things further.
It's worth checking these on the beta cluster; if all is well they can go
out to Wikimedia sites with the next branch point.
As an intermediary step, some weeks ago we merged this change to mark
parser output requiring video modules, so the standard RL caching _should_
mean everything keeps working on cached pages once the newer revs go live:
*
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/230153/
With all these going out, we'll be able to finalize work on integrating the
VideoJS player framework to replace our old hacked-up version of the
Kaltura player, and generally modernize and vastly improve the playback
experience.
