.wmv video files do not play in any modern browser; they do play in IE11 via ActiveX or Silverlight. We should handle this in two different ways (preview vs player).

Preview

An error message should be shown in place of the video, saying what was wrong. It should be shown for a short time, e.g. 5 seconds.

Player

The video should be skipped (immediately expired), and a fault should be reported indicating the video failure.

It is not clear whether this ever worked (I think perhaps not as it did not have any special case).

To fix this we will likely require additional libraries to handle video playback, which may be something we want to do, but is too much change for 4.1. Moving this to 4.2.
