Comment 2 for bug 1397131

Another thing that's worth considering, is that the video player block is a block plugin. If an institution really needs to support Flash video (because their IT department has locked them to IE8) they could commission a port of the Mahara 1.10 Flowplayer video block to Mahara 15.04, and use that instead.

On a multi-tenanted site you could even have both blocks installed and use the local_get_allowed_blocktypes() hook function to show one block to some users and the other block to other users.
