This isn't working https://air.mozilla.org/wheres-my-vote/ I replicated it here: https://air-dev.allizom.org/wheres-my-vote/ It uses the new vidly iframe template. https://air-dev.allizom.org/manage/events/480/ Is that the problem?

It's true, it doesn't work. Neither does the EFF video from bug 801836. The problem is that the vid.ly transcodes of these fail consistently. I've tried pouring them through Handbrake and the results also fail in Vid.ly. It's a bit of a puzzle. The original recording of this event is in the URL above, but you'll need to download it and play it instead of being able to stream it. We're escalating the problem to Vid.ly, and hope to have a solution. The output of the Handbrake transcode is at the same location but with the extension .m4v. Suggestions welcome!

Submitted support ticket #8907 to Encoding.com support desk.
handbrake support webm, doesn't it? Maybe we can just do that.
HUB: There are people who need formats other than WebM. That doesn't work on lots of mobile devices.
Transcoded version is up on Air Mozilla now.

The description needs to be changed back. It still says "The archive video of this presentation is currently unavailable. ..." Richard, a lot of people have asked about this video too. Would you make an announcement on Yammer about it?
