Video tag does not recognize the source file in "Check Media"

The video tag does not recognize the source file in “Check Media”.
Here is the code example.

<video src="some_video.mp4" controls=""></video>

To avoid this, I use this hack.

<video src="some_video.mp4" controls=""></video>
<img style=""display: none;" src="some_video.mp4">

However, the Audio tag recognizes the source file, so you don’t need to do this hack.

Neither video or audio tags are officially supported, but we should at least be consistent here, so I’ll fix this after the next update.
