Moot, fix the mime type of those pages. On Android it opens the new url on the browser and only when the browser got the file header it calls the video app to start the download again. I'm pretty sure there are ways for the link to go directly to the video app

We already send the proper MIME type:

  Content-Type: video/webm

IIRC Android matches on the file extension in the URL...
