Please don’t use background pictures for essential elements of the gui, they aren’t shown when using a custom stylesheet to make all web pages bright on black.

Thanks to everyone for providing feedback.

3. Popcorn is indeed a cool project. Wikimedia videos can now more easily be used in that context, both with the associated timed text and webm web streamable flavors.

7. Yes there are scripts to import freely licenced material from youtube, and a discution on commons-l about setting up import scripts:

8. There was an ogg bug in firefox 16, see for discution and work around:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18926

9. There is a user configuration flag you can set to display the native player. mw.config.set(“EmbedPlayer.NativeControls”, true ); We have not heavaly tested opera. It may be the video you were viewing did not yet have all the flavors encoded yet, giving you a bad experince with the HD version.

10. see commons thread above ( 7 )

13. see ( 8 )

14. What browser? Not all browsers have hardware acceleration setup correctly.

15. Please file a bug with steps to repeate.
