 Replying to [comment:12 Clorith]:
 > [attachment:42643.patch] implements a `customError` handler for any MEJS
 player, this restores the previous behavior of displaying a download link
 if a FLV file can't be rendered for any reason.
 <snip>
 > This approach would also mean that any other format that encounters an
 error gets a download link, this wasn't the previous behavior, but it
 makes sense to not limit this fallback only to flash videos.

 I’m a little concerned that a download link might not be something that
 users embedding seemingly-to-be-streaming media would expect to show up
 upon error, even though files are, of course, downloadable manually
 anyway.

 For this reason, I'd personally prefer a fix specific to FLV, if I'm
 understanding properly, but would love to hear other thoughts on this.
