I just talked to our product owner who manages the team that would be responsible for that issue. When it was reported, and for a long time after that, videos weren't a high priority on the site so the bug was not given a high priority for fixing. We're discussing how to fix it now, though, since video is a much bigger priority. Hopefully we'll have news on that in the near-future.
