The video tab now accepts direct video file URLs, for example from a CDN, not only the eight supported platforms. It is behind the allowVideoFile flag, which the website builder enables.

[IMP] html_editor, website: add video files using media dialog The video tab of the media dialog only accepted urls from the eight supported third party platforms, so a self-hosted video, or one served from a CDN, could not be inserted at all. Add a VideoFile provider, tried once no platform matches the url. A video file url has no recognizable shape, so it is probed rather than matched, it is loaded in a detached <video>. The feature is behind the allowVideoFile config flag, off by default and currently enabled by the website builder. task-6466707
