Video links like https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Redirect/file/Intense_bone_fluorescence_reveals_hidden_patterns_in_pumpkintoadlets-_video1-_41598_2019_41959_MOESM2_ESM.webm don't seem to play for me in the embedded <video src="xxx"> tag in Safari/OS X. However, on wikipedia commons the video plays within a video tag just fine, because they use a url to a transcoded version in the src tag, at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Intense_bone_fluorescence_reveals_hidden_patterns_in_pumpkintoadlets-_video1-_41598_2019_41959_MOESM2_ESM.webm/Intense_bone_fluorescence_reveals_hidden_patterns_in_pumpkintoadlets-_video1-_41598_2019_41959_MOESM2_ESM.webm.1080p.vp9.webm.

The various transcoded versions are listed under the video, at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Intense_bone_fluorescence_reveals_hidden_patterns_in_pumpkintoadlets-_video1-_41598_2019_41959_MOESM2_ESM.webm#transcodestatus, and there are a number of transcoded versions available: I wonder if @lentinj has any idea which would be the best to pick? The Wikimedia embedded video play lists a whole load of them in the <source> tags, which I assume serve as fallbacks for e.g. for use on mobile.

Either way, it would be good to be able to use the safari-compatible version in tours somehow. Can you think of an easy way @lentinj ?

Just to add to this.... the tour videos from Wikimedia are working on Safari now both locally and on the beta site.

It may be a race condition associated with https://github.com/OneZoom/OZtree/issues/783
