Ison,

Thanks so much for your answer!

Indeed: my sole use case for Web video seems to insist on whatever 
this feature is.  I can't link to it here for freedom & legal 
reasons, but let's say their content is *majorly* ball-based.

With .mediasource disabled, I get an error:

 “Your browser does not support the playback of this video. 
 Please try using a different browser.”

I'd really rather not.

I remember getting this same error in Epiphany when I tried to 
play it there.  At least now I have a lead…

Thanks again,

T G-R
