the player is malfunctioning anyway, similarly to those videos that report short runtime and then go on forever that get passed around quite frequently
This is how the video element works in chromium. I suspect it looks at the same metadata field. Beyond leading to a bit of absurd UI state though it's not the same kind of issue that this post describes, which deals with trying to transcode these kinds of videos which could multiply storage utilization on the backend.
