Speaking of corruption, I found this[1] video a while back. On mobile the video shows up fine, but on desktop it's just a gray screen, although the thumbnails work.

Also the original "Leroy Jenkins" video has been corrupted by youtube.


Here's another video that doesn't behave well on desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ


The video is showing fine here. I'm using the HTML Video Everywhere! extension.


I can confirm that the mp4 I downloaded is not (detectably by my desktop video player) corrupt. I am not sure what it is, but it is not corrupt. (Except for the filename, but that is because javascript is brain-damaged as regards strings.)


I also have cookies and javascript disabled. Maybe the javascript is messing with the video.


It's just a gray screen for me in both HTML5 and Flash players, though if I download the video and play it in MPC-HC it's fine. Weird stuff!
