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.
That's probably interaction with some plugin mode... Do you have Perian or the old Xiph QT plugins installed by chance?

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!

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:
