 A blog commenter writes]:
   Previous builds would have a dark background with simple controls for
 video or audio playback. There are no longer visible controls for
 video/audio, just a blank white background, and I cannot view statistics
 or seek. Same behavior from local files [mp3/4].

 I can reproduce this. The player plays but there are no controls; in the
 case of an audio file this means the whole page is blank. It works as
 expected in 6.0.3.

 Try these example URLs:
   https://archive.org/download/OrsonWellesMrBruns/381030.ogg (audio)
   https://extra.torproject.org/blog/2016-08-PT-animation
 /pluggable_transports-animation.mp4 (video)

 Here is how the audio player looks in 6.0.3:

 And in 6.5a2 it's just blank:
