Got reminded of this; took a prelim look and it seems there's an issue with the HTTP 'Range' requests Safari is making on the video; img_auth.php doesn't support these natively and it may be going awry.
Filed as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T122858 on the low-level issue, should be able to fix that up later this week. -- brion On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 2:38 PM, Pine W <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not sure if MediaWiki has the capability to support mp4 playback in > Safari at this time.
