Comment:

 The MediaElement update added support for FLV files as mentioned earlier,
 the main problem here is that the previous version would not try to render
 a file, but instead offered a download link right away.

 The issue seems to be that the player starts rendering like it should, and
 then hits something incompatible in the file (likely the encoding used to
 create it), I wonder if we could possibly grab this with the `error` event
 in MEJS and convert the player markup to a download instead as a
 solution...
