The Mime-type issue happened because of overload but it now is a self-correcting issue.
There are in fact two components to this. The major one as I just described and is now fixed.
The other is a few browsers not supporting mp4. So very few may still see the problem. http://caniuse.com/#search=mp4 has some stats.
Plans exist to transcode in place and then cache the file for those remaining browsers. I've already tested it some but I'm having trouble finding browsers with that issue to finish tests with. I know they exist. It's something like 1/3 of palemoon users. I've done some research and some people on forums have had to go behind the hood to get mp4 to play on palemoon but the majority have zero issues. When I installed palemoon with Manjaro I couldn't repeat the issue so it may depend on how yours is distributed, and the codecs on the machine.
This is not what happened in the prior case. That was the first issue I brought up where nodejs fails silently. This one is almost completely mitigated. Now the server is actively polled for the issue and restarted in a matter of seconds, then it behaves normally.
But we did serve 4000 views and 15 gigabytes.
But this is a process. We ran traffic to the server, had an issue, and patched it. Doing this iteratively is a necessary part of beating investor controlled websites.
I've also built a load ranker for the site so we can target slower periods, get the data we need for improvements, but do it at a steady pace.
https://gvid.pw/traffic. 7.1 at the moment, ~280 requests per minute.

Very Nice! ...the load ranker.
