Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:1 irl]:
 > HTML 5 video/audio means parsing untrusted data through a complicated
 decoding algorithm that may have vulnerabilities, which is why this
 restriction is in place on Medium/High security levels.
 The ticket is about '''local''' files only, meaning that they're trusted
 and this restriction should probably not be in place.
