I mean is it an HTML5 problem, Firefox problem or Wikimedia problem?

I’m certainly hoping that’s something we can work out and integrate!

I don’t know why that’s not possible.

The most important feature that would be great is subtitles. Is it possible to have subtitles in open videos? Changeable subtitles not embedded into the video file.

Anyway, great news hope it moves video on Commons forward.
