Details

Page Info reports that the size of the video in the URL is 31K, which I am pretty sure is incorrect.
Page Info asks the cache what the video size is, and since the cache only gets the video in streamed parts, the value returned is the size of the current chunk in the cache.

Unless there is another more reliable way to get the file size of a video than the cache I don't know if this can be fixed.  In addition, since Ogg videos are now in the media panel--which also depends on the cache, this is a problem there too with the video shown with an "Unknown" size and the broken image indicator activated.
Severity: normal → S3
