...or if this is a real bug, how about creating a bugreport and potentially
get it fixed in the internal player, rather than ignoring the problem and
implement some ugly workaround which doesn't benefit anyone but yourself?

Of course, if these "downloaded videos" are illegal downloads, you're on
your own. If not, create a small sample of the video, upload it somewhere
and link it from the ticket.
